Virgil was inspired by the Greek poet Homer, more specifically by his works concerning Odysseus, namely "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey". This can acatually be recognised when closely comparing attributes in Virgil's "the Aeneid" and Homer's epic mentioned before.

What field were ovid and virgil in?

In Edith Hamilton's Mythology, she says this of Ovid: "...is a compendium of mythology. No ancient writer can compare to him in the respect. He told almost all the stories and he told them at great length...He was said to have a sheer nonsense about him." Virgil did not believe in myths, he instead found human nature in them and brought mythological personages to life as no one else had done since the Greek tragedians.
