Abstract

Egypt and Egyptian deities play an important role in Virgil’s Aeneid, in which the epic poet celebrates the contemporary victory of Augustus over the forces of Cleopatra and her lover Antony. Close consideration of all the references to res Aegyptiacae in the poem reveals that Egyptian lore is important not only for the Virgilian hommage to Actium, but also for influencing the reader’s interpretation of the final scene in Book 12 between Aeneas and Turnus.
