Something Rich and Strange

Something Rich and Strange. Publius Vergilius Maro was certainly a historical figure, but an unusual amount of fantastic trappings seem to have accumulated around him. Sometimes known more as mythical figure than as a poet of myths, he has seen modern revisions both fabulous(previously discussed) and absurd.

Thanks, Gimonca, that's really cool.

(If anyone else has instances of this sort of thing on the web, please do link to them. I'm currently reading The Scarlet Fig and I'm interested in more historical context)
