I suggest Theodore Haecker's "Virgil: Father of the West". There's a good chapter there about how Aeneas and Odysseus are quite dissimilar figures. Also (the best part) explains (in ecstasy almost) how Aeneas is in fact most similar to Abraham, the founder of the faith.
It's a 1934 book...you'll have to find a used copy, try Alibris.com

I am unable to shake off an image of some teacher in Central Ohio
thinking to herself, "Hmmmmmmm...what group of people would enjoy
receiving this joke?" and choosing without hesitation this Vergil list!


Actually, what I'm looking for, info-wise, is a book/article that would be considered the definitive comparison of Aeneas and Odysseus...

Thanx!
