He's my favorite too. One of the best verses in the whole poem is "Tantum religio potuit suadere malorum" (such evil could religion suggest) which refers to Agamennon sacrificing his daughter Iphigenia but which I think is a sadly recurring truth in human history.

Yes! I believe that was in Book I. That was definitely one of the ones I highlighted.
