Would there be any sense, do you think, in regarding Parmenides' visit (full of Homeric echoes) to the Gates of the Ways of Night and Day (in a way, Falsity and Truth) as one of the sources for Aeneas' visit to the Gates of Sleep? Might V, by giving his Gates the title 'of Sleep' rather than 'of Dreams', as in his main Homeric source, have meant to create a link with Parmenides' story, seeing that the transition from sleep to waking is naturally related to the transition from night to day? - Martin Hughes
