A quick scan through Mynor's OCT gives I.534, I.560, I.636, II.66, II.233, II.346, II.468, II.614, II.623, II.640, II.720, II.767, III.218, III.316, III.340, III.470, III.527, III.640, III.661, IV.44, IV.361, IV.400, IV.503, IV.516, V.294, V.322, V.574, V.595, V.653. V.792, V.815, VI.94, VII.129, VII.248, VII.439, VII.455, VII.702, VII.760, VIII.41, VIII.469, VIII.536, IX.167, IX.295, IX.467 (Euryali et Nisi...what a great (half) line), IX.520, IX.721, IX.761, X.17, X.284, X.490, X.580, X.727, X.876, XI.375, XI.391. I'm sure I've missed some; obviously double-check all of these.
How odd a project, though interesting; I was under the impression biographical readings were all but dead. Also, out of curiosity, what facts for Vergil's life? I was also under the impression that most of the details in the vitae are now considered apocryphal at best. A more general question to the list: what can we learn about Vergil's method of composition from these half-lines, his process of composition and revision? cheers, C.W.Hess On Tuesday 29 May 2001 09:35 pm, you wrote: > Hello all: > I'm writing on paper on the influence on Virgil's lfe on his writing of the > work.
