Il falso Cidone. "Amitiés particulières" nei commenti tardoantichi a Virgilio
Gioseffi, Massimo
2007
Abstract
This paper tries to reconstruct what has been the attitude taken by Virgilian scholiasts, especially in the
more numerous commentaries to the Aeneid (the texts of Servius, Servius Danielinus and Tiberius Claudius
Donatus), with specific regard to the episodes in which Virgil depicts very close friendships, the verge-point
of the passion of love, between persons of male sex. The passages here analyzed are the love of Jupiter and
Ganymede (Aen. I 28), of Cycno and Phaeton (Aen. X 185-197), and finally of Cidone and Cytius (Aen. X
324-330).
