This is a great lesson when juxtaposed with another leson about Augustus, which talks about the pros and cons of his autocratic rule. I’ve dug out the other lesson, will place them side by side for you to enjoy. So what do you think? Was Virgil and original author, or a Homer wannabee?

If you do want to read it, here is a translation in poem format.
