The Aeneid was a almost perfect representation of what a Augustus Caesar was looking for, depicting the heroic Aeneas as a loyal man to his country and that cared about his country more than his personal gains or how popular it would make him, and going off to help Rome. …show more content…
In the odyssey there is a lot of recklessness not shown in the Aeneid Odysseus shows recklessness throughout the novel.
