Avram Davidson is interesting, especially "The Phoenix and the Mirror". He's quite Wolfean.

So in medieval times a lot of people thought (I presume unironically), that Virgil - the very same author of the Aeneid - was not just a poet and author but also a magician, a Magus. Some of them would open Virgil's books at random pages and use it for divination and they thought it was literally magical. This is legit real history and people thought like this for hundreds of years:

And the premise of this novel is to say, ok, what if Virgil actually WAS a Magus and could actually do magic. And classical gods and shit.

Really haberdashers your hazelnuts, as they say, so to speak.
