The sporadic and limited translations of Virgil\u2019s works in China are in sharp contrast to his enduring influence in the West and the general popularity of the Homeric epics in China.\u00a0What factors, then, might have hindered Virgil,who was proclaimed as the \u201cFather of the West\u201d (Theodor Haecker) and \u201cclassic of all Europe\u201d (T.
