[edit] Different stories
Perhaps it would be worth referencing each story individually? The text here seems to show the myth as described in Virgil's Aeneid but we should also consider other representations such as Dionysius, Livy, Propertius and Ovid. P. Hardie believes that Virgil is responsible for innovations in his story: the transformation of Cacus into a super-human, demonic and hellish monster, with the resulting allusions to Gigantomachy but also the allegorical effect of the whole episode upon the portrayal of Augustus. For these reasons, Virgil's representation probably isn't the best one to describe here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.138.120 (talk) 18:40, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
