Broch, Death of Virgil

I doubt a great many people on /lit/ have even heard of Broch but you should definitely at least have read The Aeneid and know its themes. As a result, as the Aeneid tells of the Trojan War, you should first read the Iliad. As a result, you should be familiar with Greek mythology beforehand. I'm telling you, starting with the Greeks is not a myth. HOWEVER, the Death of Virgil tells about the fate of the poem itself, so while you should still read all I've mentioned, don't do any research into the history of Virgil and his writings themselves if you're into the dramatic importance of the work

OP here. I've slowly read most of Virgil's works over the past few months (been studying Latin), so his actual life and work is relatively familiar to me. I've read Homer, as well as Ovid, Boccaccio and Graves.

It just sounds pretty interesting. Plus, I remember reading The Sleepwalkers and The Missing Quantity years ago.

Read W. F. Jackson-Knight's Roman Vergil. It's for just where youre at and is truly a great book in its own right.
