John Conington, Commentary on Vergil's Aeneid, Volume 2, P. VERGILI MARONIS, line 786 (search)
Sustinet, doubtless on the top
of the helmet, galea alta. In the colossal
statue of Athene in the Parthenon
at Athens she bore a sphinx on the top of
her helmet and a griffin on each side.
Paus. 1. 24. 5 (Dict. A. Galea). Aetnaeos,
like those of Aetna. Horriferos
eructans faucibus aestus Lucr. 3.1012.
Virg. thought of Il. 6. 182, deino\n a)popnei/ousa
puro\s me/nos ai)qome/noio.

In arce summa would most
naturally refer to the Trojan acropolis:
comp. 1. 441, lucus in urbe fuit media,
and the story of the bay-tree 7. 61, inventam
primas cum conderet arces, as
also the story of the olive in the acropolis
of Athens. Where the passage is assumed
to be unfinished, we cannot argue from
the context: but it would be undoubtedly
possible to understand arce of the mountain,
and v. 92 may be pleaded for this.
It is a question of probabilities, and one
that from the nature of the case must
remain to some extent open. Virg. may
have intended to make Aeneas get his
timber from a sacred grove in the citadel,
which might possibly have been conceived
of as remaining unburnt, like the Athenian
olive, after the sack of the city: but
this is mere conjecture without data.
Quo refers to lucus.
