Abstract


A reexamination of Iopas' song at the end of Aeneid I, replying to T. E. Kinsey, Emerita 47, 1979. Importance of the theme of luxury. Contrast between the irregularity and disorder in nature reflected by lopas and the cosmology of Anchises in Aen. VI 724-51. «Symbolic» meaning in Virgil should not be conceived too narrowly; neither literalism or allegory is a valid approach.
