In Ursula K. Le Guin's 2008 novel Lavinia, the character of Lavinia and her relationship with Aeneas is expanded and elaborated, giving insight into the life of a king's daughter in ancient Italy. Le Guin employs the self-conscious narrative device in having Lavinia as the first-person narrator know that she would not have a life without Virgil, the creator of the Aeneid and thus hers. Lavinia appears in the Shakespeare play 'Titus Andronicus' Lavinia also appears with her father Latinus in Dante's Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto IV, lines 125–126.
