About 38 BCE, however, Virgil was already well enough placed to be able to introduce Horace to Maecenas (Horace, Satires 1.6.54f.), and perhaps in the spring of 37 BCE both Virgil and Horace accompanied Maecenas and various other public figures on their journey from Rome to Brundisium (Horace, Satires 1.5). How Virgil actually came into contact with Maecenas, early Octavian’s adviser in matters of cultural politics, no one knows. Already in Bucolic 1 Virgil writes with admiration of the young Octavian, whom Cicero at the same time dismissed as a teenage butcher. The rustic tragedies of his Bucolics 1 and 9 are the stuff of life in Italy during the First Triumvirate (Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus) and the Second Triumvirate (Mark Antony, Lepidus, and Octavian) and not necessarily autobiographical nevertheless, they show Virgil's concerns in his early career. His earliest poetry reveals a formidable literary training legend contends that he was sent to Rome at the age of 5 to study rhetoric, medicine, philosophy, and astronomy. Virgil almost without a biography, without the lavish myths, turns out to be no less great a poet than he was before. Now biographers try to piece together Virgil's life from his own writings and the writings of his contemporaries. Romans and Italians after his death attributed many myths to Virgil's tomb, for example, which is located near Naples, contending that the cave in which he was buried was carved out from the supernatural power of Virgil's gaze. These ancient biographies include much material that has been believed only because it was applied to Virgil. ( Vergil with an e is the classical Roman spelling, normal in Germany, and thence adopted by some in the United Kingdom and the United States, contrary to traditional literary usage). Over the past 300 years, much of Virgil’s long-standard ancient biography, based on hearsay and legends, has been challenged. The son of a farmer in northern Italy, Virgil came to be regarded as one of Rome's greatest poets his Aeneid as Rome's national epic.

Publius Vergilius Maro was a classical Roman poet, best known for three major works-the Bucolics (or Eclogues), the Georgics, and the Aeneid-although several minor poems are also attributed to him.
