Résumé
Several episodes in Vergil’s Aeneid portray female characters, both divine and human, soliciting aid and/or information from other female characters. These scenes have usually been discussed in relation to Greek and Latin literary models. This study reconsiders these episodes by situating them in the context of the codes and conventions governing social relations among elite Roman women and argues that Vergil’s thematization of gender conflict at the heart of proto-Roman social and political conflict both reflects the widespread practice of elite women’s participation in the social and political life of triumviral Rome and anticipates its public emergence in the Principate.
