Woman as temptress because Dido was Iarbas´ temptress so he threatened her because he couldn't escape of Dido's beauty and power. Death and reward was when Dido suicided so Iarbas couldn't marry her and Carthage will be safe of his threatens. For me there was a return because Dido return perhaps not to a specific place but, she returned to the state where she began with her husband. So I wrote two aspects that are ascension, apotheosis, and atonement, and the crossing of the return threshold. This is because as Dido killed herself she ascended with the gods and with her husband. Also in that moment she crossed the threshold where she began with her
