• Resumen

  • Attention to certain passages shows that the episode on the death of Euryalus in Aeneid IX owes much to the poetry of Bion of Smyrna, not only his Epitaph on Adonis but also the fragments from his poem on the Evening Star and perhaps from those on Orpheus and Hyacinthus. The result is a characteristically Hellenistic mixture of love and death.
