/She will be mine, through passion for Aeneas” (I.673-675). Venus’ manipulation of both Juno and Dido is unnecessarily cruel as it ultimately leads to Dido’s unjust suicide.

Regardless of whether it begins with a human or a god, it can leave disaster in its wake, particularly when the gods play a role.
