John Conington, Commentary on Vergil's Aeneid, Volume 2, P. VERGILI MARONIS, line 102 (search)
Honorem ferebat i. q. sacra
ferebat: comp. vv. 61. 76 &c. Sollemnem
honorem: comp. 2. 202. The circumstances
are evidently borrowed from Od.
3. 4 foll., where Telemachus landing at
Pylos finds Nestor with his son Peisistratus
and his people sacrificing to Poseidon on
the shore. Peisistratus rises first to greet
the strangers, as Pallas flies to meet them
here. It is worth while comparing the
Homeric detail, groups of nine sacrificing
nine bulls each, tasting the entrails, and
burning the thighs, with Virg.'s more
general language.
