    In addition to Chinese literature, Romans paid homage to their ancestors through literature. “And the grave must be honoured,” reads the poem Fasti, “appease your fathers’ spirits, and bring little gifts to the tombs you built” (Doc 5). The writer constructs the series of interviews, compiling the formations of Roman civilization, and the writer shows what citizens should do: model after the gods (Doc 5). Through the construction of supernatural instructions, the author, Ovid, conveys the message to unify the vast Roman Empire. Roman conquests forced many cultures to come together into one empire, so the poet gives the mandate to set a Roman…

    Text 2: Vergil’s Aeneid, book 2.279-297 Vergil’s textual source describes Aeneas’ encounter with Hector’s ghost during the siege on Troy who warns him that Troy has fallen and is held by the enemy. Vergil’s Aeneid focuses solely on Aeneas’ travels and then on the war of Troy. Vergil’s work has several poetic features used to create a very detailed scene. In this scene, Vergil uses first-person to show Aeneas’ emotional state during this encounter; allowing the reader to increase their sense of connection with the character. This form of writing refrains the reader from making characterizations.…

    In 2008, a woman from Anderson, Indiana set fire to her ex’s clothes and burned his storage unit. There was “more than $100,000 in damage” (NBC). The woman’s ex most likely did not do anything to deserve this and she was simply just overreacting. Naturally, society expects the girl to get over her ex and move onto another guy; in extreme circumstances, the woman will not move on, but instead kill herself. Welcome to The Aeneid: Book four.…

    This example shows how Augustus uses the Aeneid to prove to the Romans that he is a man that values the fate the gods and will do anything for his city. In addition, an obvious section of propaganda is found in Book VI of the epic, when Aeneas accompanies the Sibyl down into the underworld to meet with Anchises. A seemingly dragged on section of the Aeneid is when Anchises spends an excessive amount of time talking about the future leader, Augustus. For example, in lines 940-1 of Book VI Virgil writes, “And here is the man promised to you, Augustus Caesar, born of the gods, who will establish again the Golden Age in the fields of Latium once ruled by Saturn.” Virgil goes on in this section of the…

    Virgil’s Aeneid depicts a scene from the Battle of Actium in which Octavian’s forces are pitted against Antony and Cleopatra’s hordes and her god, the barking Anubis. This description of the barking Anubis may be Virgil’s way of showing that the hordes that Cleopatra brought to bear were just as unruly and unorganised as a god who seemingly behaves more like an animal. Orlin respects the idea that the Romans might depict themselves as conquering weaker foreign gods, however, Orlin also notes that the absorption of a deity into the Roman religion could also be a means of forming religious bond. In contrast, Beard et al. claim that the writing of the Augustan period is focussed on presenting the emperor’s victory against Cleopatra as a scene of Roman gods conquering Egyptian…

    After the relocation of Troy to Carthage, the people began to adopt the Roman values, which, most importantly, put the state first – if individuals protected the state, the state, in turn, would protect the individual. Man’s identity was found in the city-state and their sense of honor was achieved through protecting and showing loyalty to their homeland. The heroic characteristics found in Ancient Roman society were piety, fidelity, and putting one’s duty before their own desires. Allegiance to one’s state was even regarded as more important than family and loved ones. In the Aeneid, Aeneas, the principal figure of the poem and highly regarded prince of the Trojans, demonstrated these traits and characteristics in a prominent way by his actions throughout the…

    He was born in a northern Italian village near Mantua in 70 BCE, studied mathematics, medicine and rhetoric in Cremona and Milan, and went to Rome and Naples for further studies. When Caesar Augustus assumed power, Virgil was known for more than one kind of work, and an obvious choice at the court to write a chronicle that helped to glorify Rome and its empire. To a modern reader, the Aeneid is more than a volume of pro-Augustan propaganda as can be seen in what Virgil takes the time to explain to the reader. As argued, it is a moral and human chronicle that should leave a reader wondering what Virgil planned to complete or change, or why he should want it destroyed after his death. The Aeneid can be recommended for its strong themes to do with human nature, and in documenting the struggle to go forward through every kind of adventure for the purpose of benefiting the common good rather than the self.…

    Also in this last section I will discuss the status of the Freedman that we met in the Dinner Party that Trimalchio set up and what status they would eventually hold in Roman Society and how this status challenged the pessimistic view of the early imperial Rome. The first topic I will discuss is the comparison of the main goals of Aeneas, Enclopius, and Terentia and which perspective of Roman culture each of the missions of these characters suggest that they have, and last what each of these characters is trying to achieve through their goals and how they show different images of Rome. The main goal of Aeneas throughout the book Aeneid by Virgil, is to continue to be fully devoted to the plan that fate and destiny has laid out for him, and at all costs to help Rome reach her pinnacle. Next, Enclopius’ goal in the book Satyricon by Petronius is to only fulfill his own lustful and selfish desires, which is to regain his virility.…

    Human nature is unpredictable. With seven billion people living on our planet’s crust and the numbers growing every day, there are too many thoughts and emotions to perceive a specific human nature. In both Book II and Book IV of Virgil’s The Aeneid, the poet laces his own ideas of human nature into every stanza. In The Aeneid, our main character and hero, Aeneas, is fresh surviving the aftermath the Greeks left due to the Trojan War. Aeneas is tasked to set out on a quest to begin rebuilding an origin story for his heritage.…

    Roman Strengths and Weaknesses One essential element of the epic is the catalogue, which is a long list describing persons, places, or events placed in the catalogue for a specific reason. The Aeneid, written by Virgil, is exceptionally accomplished in creating a certain perception of his catalogues in The Aeneid. Virgil’s reason for having the prophetic catalogue in Book VI take place in the underworld is to place an emphasis on how the future of Rome will have its dark and light spots, just as the underworld has dark and light areas. Virgil chooses to include the dark parts of Roman history in this catalogue to remind Romans, including Aeneas, that, although they are powerful, they also have their weaknesses. To start the catalogue of Book…

    I, Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, have the answer to the woes of men. You, Virgil, commissioned by Augustus Caesar, composed The Aeneid, describing the journey of pious Aeneas. Aeneas’ duty to his country, family, and the gods mark him as a symbol of Roman piety. The theme of mercy is also evident in The Aeneid and is linked to the concept of piety. Yet, the poem concludes with gloom and ambiguity in the eeriness of “death’s chill” (Fitzgerald 402).…
