This writer praised a boy in a work that exclaims "begin to greet thy mother with a smile!". That work, nicknamed "Messianic", is part of an anthology of ten that contains a dialogue between Meliboeus and Tityrus. He isn't Homer, but this author imagined two gates that led from the underworld, with the hero traversing the ivory one. In that work by this author of the Eclogues and the Georgics, a hero weds Lavinia, having previously lost his wife Creusa in the ruins of Troy, and faces off against Turnus in his journey to found Rome. For 10 points, name this Roman epic poet of The Aeneid ("ah-NEE-id").
