"Founder of the faith"? Which faith? Certainly not Aeneas's faith.
Isn't this just the tired old T. S. Eliot/Warde Fowler school of the
Judeo-Christian Aeneas?

Quoting "Robert T. White" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
BG scripsit:
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
Thanx! But 1934??? Wow...........
