What reading level is Vergil book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And didnot these dedications inspire the prophecy _uocabitur hic quoque uotis?_Be that as it may, it is difficult to refuse credence to Servius in thiscase, for Vergil here (I, 267-274 and 283) accepts Julius Caesar's claimof descent from Iulus, whereas in the sixth book, in speaking of thedescent of the royal Roman line, he derives it, as was regularly done inAugustus' day, from Silvius the son of Aeneas and Lavinia (VI, 763 ff. ). We must notice also that in the _Aeneid_ as in the _Georgics_ ...Augustus isregularly called 'Augustus Caesar' or 'Caesar, ' whereas in the only otherreferences to Julius in the _Aeneid_ the poet explicitly points to him bysaying 'Caesar et omnis _Iuli_ progenies' (VI, 789).
Servius, therefore, seems to be correct in regarding Julius as thesubject of the passage in the first book, and it follows that the passagecontains memories of the year 46 B. C. , whether or not the lines were, asI suggest, first written soon after Caesar's triumph.
The fifth book also, despite the fact that its beginning and end show alate hand, contains much that can be best brought into connection withVergil's earlier years.
