At the famous beginning lines of the Aeneid, Virgil calls Aeneas “fato profugus”, a definition that implies a double meaning, both negative and positive.

Abstract

At the famous beginning lines of the Aeneid, Virgil calls Aeneas “fato profugus”, a definition that implies a double meaning, both negative and positive. The paper aims at investiga-ting how virgilian late-antique commentators (esp. Servius and Tiberius Claudius Donatus) explain that and other passages in which Aeneas is depicted as a “profugus”, as well as how the poet (and each commentator) shapes poetic and narrative crossing with other characters “profugi” along the poem.
