medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From Michael Grant, Greek and Latin Authors (New York, 1980), p. 368:
"The Soul's Conflict (Psychomachia), a Virgilian epic of the struggles
between personified Virtues and Vices, is the least successful of
Prudentius' works as a literary achievement--but also the most influential,
for it was the first poetical Christian allegory and became enormously
popular in the Middle Ages, serving the artists of the period as a
much-used sourcebook."
