Extractions: Background: Publius Vergilius Maro (70-19 B.C.), or Virgil, as he is more commonly called, was born in a mountain village north of Rome. Even though he became Rome's epic poet during the height of Augustus's reign, Virgil never lost his love for the countryside and for simple pleasures. His three major poems, the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the Aeneid, contain frequent references to pleasant groves of trees, hard-working farmers, harvest time, and informal peasant festivities. This bucolic or rural verse, taken form Book IV of the Georgics, is both a praise poem for bees and their mannerisms as well as advice for establishing and managing a hive: Mel: Caeli Donum Mel, donum e caelis-

They write: "On the following pages appears a list of books that it would be worth your while to read. We mean the phrase 'worth your while' quite seriously. Although not all of the books listed are 'great' in any of the commonly accepted meanings of the term, all of them will reward you for the effort you make to read them. All of these books are over most people's heads - sufficiently so, at any rate, to force most readers to stretch their minds to understand and appreciate them. And that, of course, is the kind of book you should seek out if you want to improve your reading skills, and at the same time discover the best that has been thought and said in our literary tradition."

Extractions: Inferno Canto I The Three Beasts, Virgil Notes It was Good Friday morning in 1300, a Jubilee year proclaimed by Pope Boniface VIII. Since Dante was born in 1265, he is now thirty-five old, halfway through the biblical span of seventy years. 17 In the Ptolemaic system, the sun is a planet. The allegorical meaning of the three beasts is not clear. One tradition maintains that the leopard is probably symbolic of fraud; the lion (l .45) of violence; and the she-wolf (l. 49) of incontinence. Since these make up the three chief divisions of hell, the poet first encounters them in reverse order. 64 Virgil (70-19 B. C.), born in the time of Julius Caesar, is the author of the Aeneid which describes Aeneas, son of Anchises, journeying through the underworld (Book VI) before battling to found Rome. Camilla, Turnus, etc. (ll. 107-08) are characters in the poem. 101 The Greyhound may refer to Dante's patron Can Grande della Scala, lord of Verona, which lies between two towns of Feltro in Northern Italy. Another interpretation considers the appearance of the Greyhound as the second coming of Christ who will deliver humankind from evil (the she-wolf). 115-120 In these lines the poet is anticipating his journey through hell, purgatory, and paradise.
