ABSTRACT
4 I will just mention the putative objection that Panopes may have been Vergil's coinage after the analogy of Achilles (or Ulixes) for Αχιλλεύς. But this hero name is a special case, the Greek hero being always Achilles in Latin (Achilleus is a personal name found here and there in inscriptions); there is no other support for this idea, and names in –eus are fairly common in Vergil (with useful –ea acc.!), cf. esp. Ilioneus, Mnestheus, Or-pheus, Proteus.
