Vergil's Aeneid and Greek Tragedy: Ritual, Empire, and Intertext
Panoussi, Vassiliki (College of William and Mary, Virginia)
This book is a systematic study of the importance of Greek tragedy as a fundamental 'intertext' for Vergil's Aeneid. Vassiliki Panoussi argues that the epic's representation of ritual acts, especially sacrifice, mourning, marriage, and maenadic rites, mobilizes a connection to tragedy.
