This review article of Joseph Farrell's 2021 monograph on Virgil's Aeneid (Juno's Aeneid: A Battle for Heroic Identity , Princeton and Oxford) takes the cue from Farrell's analysis of Virgil's intertextuality with the Homeric epics and provides a methodological re-assessment of intertextuality in Virgilian studies and Latin literature more broadly. It attempts to retrace the theoretical history and some of the main applications of Latin intertextual studies and suggests some possible ways for Latinists to engage more profoundly with deconstructive criticism and post-critique.

The article is a review of the book "Gods and Men in Virgil's Aeneid. A Study of Prophetic Discourse" written by María Emilia Cairo. The book analyzes the prophetic discourses in Virgil's work and their importance in religious and historical aspects. It is based on thorough research and offers an overview of literary criticism on the Aeneid. The study focuses on the semiotic-discursive analysis of prophecies, considering them as linguistic statements that combine the divine and the human. The concept of "fatum" in the poem and its influence on Roman identity in the Augustan period is also investigated. [Extracted from the article]

Anthony Burgess' first novel, A Vision of Battlements (written in 1949, published in 1965), is an extended engagement with Virgil’s Aeneid. Burgess updates the action (to World War Two) and provides a new Mediterranean setting (the island of Gibraltar, under British control). He takes from the epic the framework for his novel in the form of the overall plot and many individual episodes (with lots of comic and grotesque twists and additions) and the main characters (all of whom are deflated in some way). This article investigates the humour, ingenuity and inventiveness in this very creative adaptation of Virgil to provide an epic parody which is a subversive satire on British military service.
