Abstract
Aeneid 6 is examined from the angle oí cacozelia latens, conceived as a methodical, though masked, enterprise of disparagement of Aeneas and, through him, of Augustus. Forced by the requirements of his subject to suspend for a time his attacks (from 1. 637), Virgil has made good for this breach with the Ivory Gate device, which must be connected with the Golden Bough's resistence to the auidus hero. Outside this « neutralized » passage, the poet never, misses a chance to satirize Aeneas, and, inside it, Caesar and Augustus.
