In this sequel, Vergil answers a magical summons from Averno, both the wealthiest and the filthiest of cities. The magnates there are worried about the waning and shifting of the natural fires that have fueled their industries and fouled their air.

Nur wenige Dichter haben einen ähnlich großen Ruhm erlangt wie Vergil. Mit seinem Werk nahm Vergil nicht nur maßgeblichen Einfluss auf die Poesie und Prosa der römischen Kaiserzeit, sondern er stellte damit zugleich auch ihren Höhepunkt dar. Früher Teil und erster Glanzpunkt dieses herausragenden Werkes sind die "Bucolica", die zwischen den Jahren 42 und 39 vor Chr. entstanden und eine geschlossene Sammlung von zehn Hirtengedichten vorstellen, in denen Vergil ein Arkadien entwirft.

The Phoenix and the Mirror: or, The Enigmatic Speculum by Avram Davidson is a fantasy novel that tells the story of a sorcerer named Vergil Magus. This sorcerer was named for Virgil (or Publius Vergilius Maro), poet and author of The Aeneid. In an introduction to The Phoenix and the Mirror, Davidson claims that during the Dark Ages, people tended to forget that Virgil was a poet and instead believed he was a sorcerer. The Phoenix and the Mirror was the first book in which Davidson attempted to retell the legend of this mysterious sorcerer.

Er entstammt einer Nebenlinie des trojanischen Herrschergeschlechts und ist Sohn des Anchises und der Göttin Aphrodite (röm. Venus). Aeneas gilt als Stammvater der Römer.
