Carthage

Gods have helped to shape the world around us. The deeds that have been done in the name of religion are numerous and awe-striking. A great number of wonders have been accomplished in the name of various creeds. Mother Teresa worked with the poor of Calcutta all in the name of her faith. The dark side of religion is also striking. The Crusades, begun by Catholic Pope Urban II, resulted in the deaths of thousands. The divine in daily life has remained very important from ancient times to the…

In Virgil’s "The Aeneid" there were two main tragic figures, Dido and Turnus. Even though these characters may seem vastly different they are also similar in many ways. For example, both characters are driven by emotional gains and self empowerment. Dido’s actions much like Turnus’s actions are derived from emotions towards/about Aeneas which ultimately lead to their demise (Fagles). Unlike Aeneas Dido and Turnus are crowded with the need to fulfill their own needs rather than duty, which…

Virgil chose the refugees and put them on a pedestal to make them the founders of Rome. The wealthy people of Rome were the Patricians. In book four of Aeneid, after Jupiter hears about Dido’s and Aeneas affair he lets Mercury have a word with Carthage and makes sure Aeneas must leave for Italy and take care of his responsibilities and stop neglecting his orders as a ruler. Despite being terrified of the message he was still petrified of telling Dido his plan to leave. He then tries to flee…

The epic poet, Virgil, lived through a tumultuous period of Roman history. He watched the Republic transition into the hands of Caesar Augustus and the way society changed along the way. As Rome evolved before his eyes, Virgil did not approve of his people’s newfound lack of religious virtue. Thus, as he constructed The Aeneid, Virgil reinforced the traditional Roman idea that the gods are significant. He accomplished this by giving the gods complete authority over Aeneas, portraying him not as…

For the purposes of this assignment, I have chosen passage number one. The passage is an excerpt (specifically the conclusion) from Book VI of the greater “The Rise of the Roman Empire,” authored by Polybius, who is regarded as a chief historian, second only to Thucydides by contemporary historians. “The Rise of The Roman Empire” represents the perspective of the author Polybius with respect to his historical sources and rationale during the years 221 to 146 BC in which he compiled forty books…

In The Aeneid, Dido, the queen of Carthage, appears to be suffering the pain of love, yet strong-willed at the beginning of Book IV. Despite the fact that she is grieving the death of her husband, Sychaeus, Dido remains focused on her responsibilities of leading her people. Dido is very steadfast when it comes to her debating whether or not to succumb to her growing feelings for Aeneas. She wishes to never marry again after the death of her husband and prays that, “he [Sychaeus] hold it [her…

(Virgil, Aeneid 101:233) In Virgil’s portrayal, this marriage is symbolic of Queen Dido’s submissiveness to the flames of love. She is then rapidly consumed and destroyed little by little. Virgil depicts this through the neglect of her people and Carthage as well as the loss of Queen Dido’s power of independence and strength. As Queen Dido falls more in love, she abandons what was hers with “Towers, half-built, rose / No farther; men no longer trained in arms / Or toiled to make harbors and…

Add Turnus Block Quote, take to TA and the writing center. Human history is built of choices, in which the different choices individuals and groups take can lead them to greatness or cause them to suffer. Psychomachia is an internal struggle, where people must choose between two or more morally or socially significant choices. The choice one makes in regard to the path and worldview that they follow can shape one’s life. The concept of psychomachia has been explored within fictional and real…

There exists a symbiotic relationship between history and collective memory, whereby historians become the undertakers of this memory for preservation. In the predominantly oral culture of Ancient Rome, the conventional model for historical production was exclusive to the noble historian, whereby history would be an amalgamation of the public Roman memory and his own memory and assertions. For as sociologist Halbwach surmised, the individual memory does not alone have control over recovering the…
