John Conington, Commentary on Vergil's Aeneid, Volume 2, P. VERGILI MARONIS, line 86 (search)
There were many oracles of this
kind in Greece, generally in caves, as that
of Trophonius at Lebadea and that of
Amphiaraus at Thebes and Oropus. Virg.
seems to have transferred the custom to
Italy. Heyne remarks that Tiburtus, the
founder of Tibur (mentioned below v. 670),
was the son of Amphiaraus. This again
tends to prove that the oracle mentioned by
Virg. was at or near Tibur. Serv. observes
that incubare is the proper term for
this mode of consultation, answering to
e)gkoima=sqai: comp. Plaut. Curc. 2. 2. 16,
Cic. Div. 1. 43. Rams were sacrificed,
and the worshipper slept in their skins,
Pausan. 1. 34 (of Amphiaraus), Strabo 6.
p. 284 (of Calchas in Daunia).

Europae atque Asiae explains
uterque orbis, the two divisions of the
world, Europe and Asia. This view of the
Trojan war as a struggle between Europe
and Asia is quite un-Homeric, and arose in
Greece after the Persian war. See Hdt. 1,
the earlier chapters. With this image

I am defeated by one man, as in
1. 47 she complains that she cannot prevail
over a single nation (una cum gente tot
annos bella gero), while Minerva could destroy
the whole confederate fleet of Greece.

Sublatis cornibus gives the
picture: she was represented as completely
transformed, iam saetis obsita, iam bos.
Io was chosen on account of Turnus' connexion
with Argos, as if he was the representative
of Greece in Italy.

Ante urbem in luco 3. 302.
Cerda shows that it was customary in
Greece to sacrifice to Hercules without
the walls, comp. Dem. Fals. Leg. p. 368,
where Aeschines is reproached for having
induced the Athenians to break the rule
by sacrificing within the walls when they
had not war as an excuse, and Plutarch
Quaest. Rom. 28, who inquires why youths
wishing to swear by Hercules went into
the open air. The remark, he tells us,
was first made by Scaliger, Poet. 3. 26,
referring to the present passage. Una
with dat. like similis, pariter.
