Virgil soon became part of the circle of Maecenas, Octavian's capable agent d'affaires who sought to counter sympathy for Mark Antony among the leading families by rallying Roman literary figures to Octavian's side. After the Eclogues were completed, Virgil spent the years 37 BC- 29 BC on the Georgics ("On Farming"), which was written in honor of Maecenas, and is the source of the expression tempus fugit ("time flees"). However, Octavian, who had defeated Antony at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC and two years later had the title "Augustus" given to him by the Roman Senate, was already pressing Virgil to write an epic to praise his regime.

"We only sent our staff outside the office for a seminar once," said Mike Blaser, marketing manager at Sauber Manufacturing Company in Virgil, Illinois. "It was extremely costly, ten times more expensive, at least, than the DVDs." The best thing about Seminars on DVD, he said, is the ability to provide his staff with respected, expert speakers for continuous learning.
