abstract="Why does Virgil have Aeneas in his underworld encounter with Dido quote Catullus' translation of Callimachus' lighthearted Coma Berenices? Virgil alludes to a long and largely lost tradition of unwilling departure scenes that provided Callimachus with his own models and referents, chief among them, Euripides' Protesilaus, in which the title-character returned only for a day from the underworld to visit his wfe Laodamia and thus led her, grief-stricken to suicide.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
