Virgil

On a cool summer day, my family and I decided to go for a hike at Virgil Gilman trail. I would have rather played video games on my Saturday afternoon, but my parents insisted on hiking. Not getting my way, I was upset with no desire to go hiking. "Why do we have to go hiking!" I whined, and kicked the ground in frustration. "Because," My dad stated, "It's family time." Our parents dragged us into the vehicle. "Fasten your seat belts because we're going hiking!" My mom yelled, yanking…

There are many examples of this in the Aeneid to back up this statement, such as the means of war, a quote from Juno, and a quote from Virgil himself. The first proof…

Before these first two speeches, the reader knows little about who Aeneas is. His characteristics as a person and a leader are unclear, so it is natural that the reader would pay attention to the first thing this character says. In the first passage, Virgil shows the private image of Aeneas. This is just a glimpse of who the man Aeneas is when he doesn’t have to impress anyone. As made clear in passage two, Aeneas arrived with “septem...collectis navibus omni ex numero”…
