The Erythræan Sibyl & Virgil's Fourth Eclogue
#5
RE: The Erythræan Sibyl & Virgil's Fourth Eclogue
Quote:R. G. M. Nisbet concluded that it is was likely that Virgil was indirectly inspired by the Hebrew Scriptures via Eastern oracles.
In other words, the common thread linking the messianic prophecies of Virgil and the Hebrew scriptures were eastern oracles, similarly to how Philo and Josephus charged Plato with deriving a part of his knowledge from the Jews when the more likely source for each were their Egyptian predecessors?
