The phrase confused me, as Virgil's a person, and therefore would be odd to use as a schoolbook.
But anyway, people focus on the good bits all the time, especially with something as lengthy as the Aeneid. Even The Bible isn't studied as a whole, due to all the bits that got edited over the centuries and compiled into the Apocrypha.

And of course it depends if you're Catholic or Protestant as to which Bible you have
and the Bible is a load of pamphlets held together with a lot of faith. It's impossible to take The Word of God as...the word of God, when it's been through about 4 languages and countless translators.

Most QOTW answers more closely resemble the truth than the Bible
