«
"Mountford the gives us a look at Maecenas as patron of the arts, and particularly at the man’s influence on the work of Virgil, Horace, and Propertius, activities not necessarily divorced from his role as advisor to Augustus. He is particularly valuable when discussing the literary roots of Virgil’s Aenead, which played a major role in promoting the new regime.
