Vergil's poetry abounds with plant-life, yet much criticism underestimates its significance beyond attractive background detail or the occasional symbolic set-piece. This in-depth study reveals how Vergil used plants to reflect both on ancient religious attitudes to the natural world and on ideas of the human role as cultivator and controller.
