Virgil's text has been studied in so many ways that I wondered whether
really any single element out of his epic could lead to a meaningful
analysis. And it finally seems as if the apparently most "empty"
dimension of his work, namely the silence itself of his characters, is a
clue not to be overlooked.
Herewith the reference of the book I recently published to discuss the
question, and which passes through the no less than 150 scenes where
Virgil speaks of silence:
