요약This dissertation examines poetry as a source of solace within Vergil's Eclogues, Georgics, and Aeneid. I argue that Vergil presents suffering as a compounding cycle. In each text, characters turn to poetry via song and metapoetic actions that reflect poetic composition (such as weaving or sculpture) to soothe their suffering, but their efforts prove ineffective and, at times, even counterproductive. In the Eclogues, urban encroachment of a twofold nature-manifesting itself politically as land confiscations and generically as love elegy-threatens the idyllic paradise of the resident shepherds. As shepherds lose their ties to the countryside, they also lose the ability to sing bucolic song and, with it, access to consolation for their losses. In the Georgics, success requires perfection and any misstep can result in failure. The disasters that hinder the ability to farm, such as the plague, also hinder the attempts to console the difficulties of labor (both physical "work" and emotional "suffering"). Agricultural failure compounds alongside emotional suffering, and solace lies out of reach for those who suffer most. In the Aeneid, glory tied to Augustan Rome's future greatness is offered as compensation for death, but it consoles the losses of Aeneas' present neither for the dead nor the living who survive them. Though Euryalus earns eternal fame, the nature of his death deprives both him and his mother of lasting consolation and closure. Parents lose their means of consolation together with their children-a particularly poignant depiction of the cost of establishing Augustan Rome.Corresponding to the compounding cycle of suffering and poetry's inability to soothe it, potentially hopeful conclusions-Moeris' departure to the city in Eclogue 9, Aristaeus' bugonia in the Georgics, or Aeneas' defeat of Turnus in the Aeneid-yield a similarly circular pattern: at its core any glimmer of hope prolongs the sorrow it is meant to combat. What remains is a downward, inescapable spiral where solutions, like poetry itself, prove not only ineffective but self-defeating, exhibiting the poet's anxiety that the endeavors to bring to an end the civil strife of the 1st Century BCE may do more harm than good.

■520    ▼aThis  dissertation  examines  poetry  as  a  source  of  solace  within  Vergil's  Eclogues,  Georgics,  and  Aeneid.  I  argue  that  Vergil  presents  suffering  as  a  compounding  cycle.  In  each  text,  characters  turn  to  poetry  via  song  and  metapoetic  actions  that  reflect  poetic  composition  (such  as  weaving  or  sculpture)  to  soothe  their  suffering,  but  their  efforts  prove  ineffective  and,  at  times,  even  counterproductive.  In  the  Eclogues,  urban  encroachment  of  a  twofold  nature-manifesting  itself  politically  as  land  confiscations  and  generically  as  love  elegy-threatens  the  idyllic  paradise  of  the  resident  shepherds.  As  shepherds  lose  their  ties  to  the  countryside,  they  also  lose  the  ability  to  sing  bucolic  song  and,  with  it,  access  to  consolation  for  their  losses.  In  the  Georgics,  success  requires  perfection  and  any  misstep  can  result  in  failure.  The  disasters  that  hinder  the  ability  to  farm,  such  as  the  plague,  also  hinder  the  attempts  to  console  the  difficulties  of  labor  (both  physical  "work"  and  emotional  "suffering").  Agricultural  failure  compounds  alongside  emotional  suffering,  and  solace  lies  out  of  reach  for  those  who  suffer  most.  In  the  Aeneid,  glory  tied  to  Augustan  Rome's  future  greatness  is  offered  as  compensation  for  death,  but  it  consoles  the  losses  of  Aeneas'  present  neither  for  the  dead  nor  the  living  who  survive  them.  Though  Euryalus  earns  eternal  fame,  the  nature  of  his  death  deprives  both  him  and  his  mother  of  lasting  consolation  and  closure.  Parents  lose  their  means  of  consolation  together  with  their  children-a  particularly  poignant  depiction  of  the  cost  of  establishing  Augustan  Rome.Corresponding  to  the  compounding  cycle  of  suffering  and  poetry's  inability  to  soothe  it,  potentially  hopeful  conclusions-Moeris'  departure  to  the  city  in  Eclogue  9,  Aristaeus'  bugonia  in  the  Georgics,  or  Aeneas'  defeat  of  Turnus  in  the  Aeneid-yield  a  similarly  circular  pattern:  at  its  core  any  glimmer  of  hope  prolongs  the  sorrow  it  is  meant  to  combat.  What  remains  is  a  downward,  inescapable  spiral  where  solutions,  like  poetry  itself,  prove  not  only  ineffective  but  self-defeating,  exhibiting  the  poet's  anxiety  that  the  endeavors  to  bring  to  an  end  the  civil  strife  of  the  1st  Century  BCE  may  do  more  harm  than  good.
