This review article of Joseph Farrell's 2021 monograph on Virgil's Aeneid (Juno's Aeneid: A Battle for Heroic Identity, Princeton and Oxford) takes the cue from Farrell's analysis of Virgil's intertextuality with the Homeric epics and provides a methodological re-assessment of intertextuality in Virgilian studies and Latin literature more broadly. It attempts to retrace the theoretical history and some of the main applications of Latin intertextual studies and suggests some possible ways for Latinists to engage more profoundly with deconstructive criticism and post-critique.
