Comparison Of Aurus And Argent

Improved Essays
Aurus and his brother, Argent, lived quite lavishly in an unspecified location in California. They live far away from the general population because they had no need to live closer. They were immortal gods who had too much to do on their own to worry about mortals. Aurus was a tall, slender looking man who always donned stark white lab coat with the occasional chemical stain. With his lab coat, he wore a pair of goggles up on top of his head in case of an explosion. Argent always had a casual and laid back attitude and he always dressed as such. Of the two Aurus was the “older brother” although by then their real ages had been long forgotten.

    Vergil continues to describe the image “the mother wolf stretched out in the green grotto of Mars, twin boys at her dugs.” (8.617-619) Here, he alludes to the legendary, oft-admired founder of Rome, Romulus, and his brother Remus, who were, as the quote describes, allegedly abandoned and cared for by a wolf. Although he does not specifically use their names, it is important to note that the phrase “twin boys” would most likely immediately evoke this specific myth in the minds of his audience - educated Roman men who would likely have a strong background in Roman history and mythology. Vergil’s references to Roman history notably includes the Gallic sack of Rome in 390 BC, over 400 years before the Aeneid’s publication.…

Although both characters’ heritage originated in Troy, the two heroes emerge from two very different mindsets and ideals.

Hektor came from the time before the destruction of Troy, a time when the Greek culture was still an independent and thriving way of thought and life, and it is reflected in the Greeks’ idea of the epic hero.
