Summary/Abstract: In the frame of his reinventing the golden age myth, Vergil (Eclogues 4.3-12) constructs the new golden race of men that is about to be born. Besides many other intersexual links, this phantasmal construction echoes also the „noble lie“ of Plato’s (Republic 414b‒415b), which presents a complex myth of autochthony and, within it, a particular vision of the men made out of gold. The paper explores hermeneutical fertility of this particular poeto-philosophical correspondence in decoding the flamboyant semantics of the Messianic eclogue.
