A colleague of mine who teaches classics at Cambridge has a quite well-detailed theory that Virgil's Aeneid is actually a parody of Homeric epics, and in spite of its apparent boot-licking servility it's actually sending the whole thing up behind the scenes. I don't know if this helps with the Virgil-hate at all...
