Virgil's Aeneid: Semantic Relations and Proper Names
Paschalis, Michael (Professor of Classics, Professor of Classics, University of Crete)
Paschalis offers a new reading of the whole Aeneid based on the meaning of proper names and using the scene of Laocoon and the Trojan Horse as a model. It sheds fresh light on every episode and book of the epic from the storm of Aeneid 1 to the death of Turnus, and reveals a sustained, pervasive, and deep-going exploitation of the meaning of names.
