This paper intends to demonstrate that Aristeus’ and Orpheus’ epyllia (Georg. IV) establish a genuine metapoetics, in which by using a mythical discourse, Virgil explains his conception of the function of poets and poetry. Taking Virgilian text as a prime source of information, a series of relationships are laid down between the four books of Georgics, and between Georgics and the rest of Virgilian production. The relationship agricola-poeta makes explicit on a triple level —theoretical, poetical, and mythical— the essence of the being and doing of poets in particular, and of men in general.
