Some people admire him for writing epics in the style of the Homeric epics. However it was anachronistic to write in a style of 700 years earlier. Imagine someone writing plays in the style and language of Shakespeare today - he would be laughed at for using outdated and modes of expression and speech. Shakespeare is good, but times and styles have changed, and aping those of the past is ridiculous. The same applies to Virgil aping Homer.
