The anthropology allows us, in its recent headways, to understand better the complexity of the symbolic world of the Antiquity. Virgile and its Enéide propose us an example of this complexity, and our analyses will try hard to imagine the big epic Roman as narrative giving to see in a coded way a series of maps, roads and symbolic roads, tending to define initiatory ways. We shall track down more particularly two networks.At first, an initiatory process establishing a map of the progress of Enée in the middle of the fauna and of the flora.Then, and in correspondence with this ground level, we shall establish a correspondence with a heavenly map, what will bring to light two zodiacal areas serving a spiritual project of Enée.From these materials, and by widening our analysis, we shall try to raise the problem of the representation in a symbolic perspective.
