#BBC broadcast on@BrownCapability has helped inspire a term paper! Agricultural inspiration and poetic cultivation in Virgil's#Georgics! -
@fdbytheword My quote is from Peter Fallon's translation of The#Georgics of Virgil. -
I have Mynors, Thomas, Williams - but my favourite commentary on the
#Georgics has come to be TEPage's. I think I prefer him for Horace, too -

Contemplating
#Vergil's "haudquaquam ob meritum poenas, ni fata resistant,"#Georgics 4.455. Aristaeus is not deserving of such punishments (bees dying), and Orpheus would exact greater revenge if only the fates would allow him to do so? pic.twitter.com/0LhMXw9l0F

#Suetonius' biography of#Vergil, as known via Donatus, tells in $22 how Vergil said that he shaped a few verses of the#Georgics each day, like a she-bear licking her cubs into shape: carmen se more ursae parere dicens et lambendo demum effingere.#gerundShow this thread -
