Abstract
Close consideration of several passages in Book 11 of Virgil’s Aeneid reveals the influence of Aristophanes’ depiction of his comic heroine Lysistrata on the characterization of the Volscian warrior maiden Camilla. Virgilian appropriation of Aristophanic lore is shown to elucidate and to offer a commentary on certain aspects of Camilla’s elusive, enigmatic nature, not least with respect to the poet’s presentation of the problem of civil war and of the status of women in Roman public life.
El examen minucioso de varios pasajes del libro 11 de la Eneida de Virgilio revela la influencia de la Lisístrata de Aristófanes en la caracterización de la doncella guerrera volsca Camila.
