This
Honors
Thesis
examines
the
role
of
Virgil’s
Camilla
throughout
the
second
half
of
the
Aeneid.
As
a
skilled
horsewoman,
fierce
warrior,
and
exotic
foreigner,
Camilla
stands
out
in
the
text
as
a
liminal
character
existing
in
between
the
realms
of
what
is
real
and
imaginary.
This
work
is
divided
into
three
sections:
the
detailed
background
of
Camilla,
the
ancient
views
of
horsemanship,
and
a
close
reading
of
Camilla’s
scenes,
with
a
special
focus
on
her
aristeia
(11.648-‐724).
