In Vergil’s Aeneid, the idea of the gods feeling typically mortal emotions, particularly anger, is emphasized heavily. Soon after Juno urges King Aeolus to release the winds under his control, so that she can attack the Trojan sailors, Neptune becomes aware of the chaos they create. In this passage, he addresses these winds using rhetorical questions, carefully-chosen verb forms, and various forms of parallel structure. These devices all create a sense of anger mirroring that of Neptune: utterly…

Karsan Tindol Dr. Kaylor ENG-2207 September 6, 2016 The Roman System of Values in The Aeneid The Aeneid is a poem about fate and freewill, yet it seems as if Aeneas is being dragged into his destiny until he finds the Roman value fides in Dis. He is a hero of some sort, but not one of validity. Instead, he is but a piece of putty, being stretched across the poem as he is the seas. The secondary characters in this poem are as, if not more important than the main character Aeneas.…

In this paper I will be examining Virgil’s Aeneid. I will be examining the text’s structure by following specific taxonomical elements throughout it, identifying patterns and consistencies as those elements occur, and deriving a single possibility of meaning from the established patterns. Then I will interpret a single excerpt of the text that best exemplifies and proves the derived possibility. In this text, Virgil tells the story of how the Trojans became Romans not only by the will of the…

Aeneid book II In book II Aeneas fulfills his pietas, his overall duty towards Anchises, the gods and his wife Creusa, by saving them. Saving them was his main priority; he wanted them safe and away from being taking from the Greeks and turned into possible slaves. Aeneas also seemed to have further duties to his wife and father. His first duty to his father, Anchises, was to forgive him for having an affair with Venus. This affair caused the gods to despise him and making Jupiter cast…

The Aeneid, a long poem written by Vergil, focuses on the journey of the Trojan Aeneas and his men as they travel to found Rome. Vergil’s intricate and carefully planned writing provides a background to each character and place that the heroes encounter on their travels. In Book One, three gods; Juno, Aeolus, and Neptune; give speeches that give insight into their personalities. Juno is the queen of the gods who fears and dislikes Aeneas because he has the potential to overthrow her beloved city…

Aeneid, the reader is introduced to the character Dido. Beginning with the influence of Cupid, this vulnerable Queen of Carthage was a malleable mortal; predetermined to suffer the hardships of life and the outside influences of fate. By introducing this character, one may question the motives the author intended for the reader to form based off of the facts presented about the queen in relation to the Roman morals during Virgil’s time. Was Dido a great leader who simply could not avoid the…

eventually leaves Dido but why? Was Aeneas right to leave her? Who is Dido and why does Aeneas leave her? The reason Aeneas leaves Dido is that Aeneas wanted to find his destiny and he knew it was not in Carthage. At this time Dido is the beautiful and powerful queen of Carthage and who Aeneas want to marry when he first meets her and Dido feels the same way about Aeneas. Aeneas was justified in leaving her because he wanted to follow his destiny. Should Aeneas of at least warned Dido about his…

wasting time in the city, and covertly prepares to leave; Dido somehow senses this, and begins to “[rave] and run wild,” to the point where Vergil describes her, in one translation, as “devoid of soul.” (4.300-4.301) This section of the text can be viewed as an extended comparison between Dido and Aeneas, and therefore, between women and men. Aeneas is portrayed as methodical and reasonably calm, even in his “stupified” and “terrified” state; Dido is portrayed as somewhat irrational and almost…
