    Open Access Journal: Essays in Long Late Antiquity

     
     

    Essays in Long Late Antiquity (ELLA) is a newly-created Open Access, peer-reviewed journal positioned in the field of first millennium studies, a research framework that has gained momentum in recent years. The journal moves away from a Western European periodization of late antiquity in order to entice interdisciplinary and superregional approaches. Therefore, the journal is open to submissions dealing with circa the second to the ninth centuries (ca. 100 – 800 CE) and the broader Afro-Eurasian region, taking a stand against disciplinary siloing and recognizing increasing interconnectivity in this period. Submissions dealing with individual periods and places within this wider geographic and temporal scope are also welcome.

    ELLA acts as a place of publication for those in history, archaeology, art history, religious studies, and philology. It fosters exchange between researchers often separated by disciplinary boundaries, offering them the chance to publish shorter essays and translations of late antique sources alongside traditional journal articles.

    Virgil, Aeneid 4, with Study Questions, Vocabulary, and Commentary

    Ingo Gildenhard (author)
    Virgil, Aeneid 4, with Study Questions, Vocabulary, and Commentary - cover image 

    In Dido’s encounter with Aeneas, the Aeneid explores abiding themes of love and loyalty, fate and fortune, the justice of the gods, imperial ambitions and its victims, as well as cross-cultural encounters and the geopolitics of colonial settlement. As Aeneas’ most significant other, Dido also assumes a crucial role in Virgil’s epic aetiology of Roman history and the Augustan principate. She owns the dark plot of Aeneid 4, in which divinely engineered erotic obsession culminates in divinely orchestrated sex that leads to personal and political tragedy: the cave encounter in Carthage entails a world-historical curse that operates in counterpoint to Jupiter’s triumphal destiny. Poetry that has fascinated readers since antiquity is here presented in an innovative, student-friendly edition, with study questions, vocabulary, commentary and visual material designed to facilitate engagement with Virgil’s text. The companion volume Teaching Dido: Critical Perspectives on Aeneid 4 (OBP 2026), also edited by Ingo Gildenhard, brings together interpretative essays and select works of scholarship to further enhance readers’ appreciation of the psychological depth, literary artistry, and thematic complexity of Virgil’s Dido.
