The Aeneid is a grand chronicle that charts Aeneas’ obstacles versus his accomplishments. Aeneas’s accomplishments entail escaping Juno’s wrath; leaving and finding love; and losing loved ones in war. Against all odds, Aeneas continued to achieve victory over all his potential downfalls. With some divine assistance, Aeneas continued to achieve victory over all his potential downfalls. With some divine assistance, Aeneas recognizes his need to help midway through his journey and needs to speak with his father, Anchises. In Book VI, he asks the Sibyl to grant him access into the underworld. Aeneas’ journey leads him to many discoveries. He discovers Leucaspis and Orontes are among “all in the nearby

Aeneas is son of Anchises, the prince of Dardaria and Venus, goddess of beauty and love. Aeneas was a Trojan military leader during the Trojan War. Aeneas was also one of the lone survivors after the siege of Troy. After the fall of Troy, Aeneas is divinely lead to Carthage by Juno because she has a grudge against the Trojans. While in Carthage, queen Dido falls deeply in love with Aeneas. Jupiter afraid that Aeneas is abandoning his destiny sends Mercury to order Aeneas to leave Carthage and travel to Italy. Once he arrives in Italy he is visited by his father’s ghost which tells him he needs to travel to the Underworld. Aeneas ends up going to the Underworld to

In the Aeneid the Roman poet Virgil presents many different people that play roles in the life of Aeneas. From gods and goddesses to mortal men and women, every personality has some precise part to play in Aeneas' impersonal fate. Of the many different characters, several are women. In fact, after reading the Aeneid it becomes clear that women play a particularly large role in Aeneas' life. From Juno to Venus, and Penelope to Lavinia, women seem to directly affect Aeneas' destiny for good or for worse. However, one can also see that

In Book 1 of “The Aeneid”, Aeneas endures a storm that was created by Juno, causing him and his comrades to become stranded, as he was traveling from Troy to Italy. As of now, the object of love for Aeneas is his country and for its growth and success. Aeneas lands on the shores of Carthage and this is where his focus of love is shaken and tested. While searching in the woods, Aeneas meets a young girl, who is disguised and actually his mother Venus. She tells Aeneas the background story of the ruler of Carthage and how everything came to be. She also reassures Aeneas that his missing ships, along with his other comrades, are safe and to continue the path into the city. Once Aeneas enters the city and observes the progress of the developing city, he is ecstatic. This encounter shows how his love for country is very focused. Instead of focusing on the individuals that may have been roaming around the city as an object of love, he views the whole city, which was still in progress, as an object of love. Aeneas goes and explores the queen’s temple to come across scenes etched of his comrades during the Trojan War. Aeneas speaks to Achates, who was one of his companions that survived the storm, about these scenes along the walls and while “feeding his spirit on empty, lifeless pictures, / groaning low, the tears rivering down his face / as he sees once more the fighters circling Troy” (Virgil, 563-565). These few lines from the text are quickly able to

Virgil’s The Aeneid is a poem of the origins of Rome, as depicted through the eyes of the hero, Aeneas. As Troy falls into chaos and destruction Aeneas gathered some many people remaining in Troy, including his father Anchises and his son Ascanius. The goddess Juno hated the Trojans ( a result of an earlier event depicted in Homer’s Iliad ), and for this reason wanted the Trojan people blotted from the face of the Earth. Through divine intervention, from the gods, his mother Venus, and his later deceased father Anchises, Aeneas overcomes each obstacle thrown at him and accomplishes the goal he set out, a new home for his people.

Achilles, the demigod son of a sea nymph named Thetis and king Peleus of the Myrmidons, is the central representation of a Homeric hero in Homer’s Iliad. His raging power is a source of awe for men on both sides of The Trojan War. In continuation of the Trojan narrative, Aeneid follows the wanderings of the Trojan prince Aeneas. His fate is to establish the Trojan Remnant in Latium, the birthplace of The Roman Empire, Aeneas faces an endless stream of challenges in his journeys. A significant obstacle is Turnus. Turnus, described by the Sybil as a “second Achilles,” proves to be incredibly like the Homeric hero. Virgil transforms Aeneas from a figure of pietas to one of furor similar to that of Turnus and Achilles. However, Aeneas never truly reaches the inhuman rage witnessed in these other two warriors.

Athens and Sparta are two rivals of ancient Greece. Athenians and Spartans lived their lives different, and they valued different things. Athenians and Spartans had an Assembly, whose members were elected by the people. Sparta were ruled by two kings, those two kings either ruled until they were died or forced out of office. Athens were ruled by archons, they were elected annually. Athens in the birthplace of democracy. Spartans focused on war and obedience. Young boys were trained to be warriors. Young women were trained to be mothers and warriors. Athenians could get good education and could pursue several kinds of arts or sciences. For many years Spartan armies provided much defense of the Greek lands. The Spartans bravery and courage at the “Battle of Thermopylae” during the Persians Wars, inspired all of Greece to fight back with all their might against the invading Persians. Athenians and Spartans fought side by side in the “Battle of Platea”, which ended the Persians invasions of Greece. Spartans provided assistance for Greece when necessary. Athenians wanted to control land around them. That led to war between all the Greeks, this was the “Peloponnesian War”. After many years of fighting the Spartans won. In Greek spirit Sparta refused to burn the city of Athens. The culture and spirit of Athens was allowed to live on, as long as Athenians no longer desired to rule Greek. Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. Sparta is known as Sparti in Greek. Sparta is

Venus, who was a very worried mother, constantly watches out for him. Venus does everything that she can think of that will help to guarantee his success and wellbeing. At the start of his voyage from the city of Troy, she saves him from a death at sea. The Goddess Juno had convinced King Aeolus to create terrible storms, swaying Aeneas' fleet and almost killing him and his companions. His mother then goes to the God Jupiter and pleads him to help Aeneas, described in the story as her appealing to him, pale and wan, having tears in her eyes, "My lord that rules the lives of man and the many gods now and always, and bring all of them to heel with only your bright bolt, what in all of the worlds could my Aeneas have done, and what could the Trojans have done to have so offended you?”. He then promises Venus that he intends to keep his vow to let her son live on to lay the foundation for the arrival of the Romans. In this case, without the vigilant eye and worry of his mother Venus, Aeneas wouldn’t have any kind of protection or safety as he made his journey to

Aeneas is a Trojan hero, destined to eventually found Rome, although it won 't be as easy as one might hope. The Trojans have to leave Troy of course, because of the Trojan War, which, as many people are familiar with, the Greeks won. The Greeks won the war deviously, by hiding inside a wooden horse and making it seem as if they had left, before leaving the horse in the night and attacking the city of Troy. That, however, is an entirely different story. While the few remaining Trojans fled on a ship with Aeneas, Troy burned. The survivors were headed to what is now Italy, where they were to found Rome, however a storm prevented them from making it there successfully and they ended up blown off course and in Carthage instead. Aeneas falls in love with a Phoenician princess in Carthage, by the name of Dido. They are together for some time, however Aeneas must leave

Aeneas as described in the "Iliad" was the son of Aphrodite and Anchises a cousin of the king Priam of Troy. Aeneas was said to have the gods watch over him as he is fated not to die. During the fighting in Troy Aeneas is wounded by Diomedes. This triggers Aphrodite to rush in to save her son, but she is wounded and Aeneas is subsequently saved by Apollo. Likewise in Greek hero myths the hero set out on a journey, in this case Aeneas is fated by the gods the survive and found a city, it was said that Poseidon foresaw, Aeneas decedents ruling the Mediterranean, with Aeneas farseeing the greatness that Rome will achieve .

She calls upon Aeolus, King of the Winds, to cause a mighty storm that will destroy the Trojan fleet. As the storm arises, several ships are destroyed while others are swept away, but eventually Aeneas and some other ships end up in the harbor of an unknown land. Aeneas decides to inspect this strange place, and during his exploration he encounters a huntress. This is actually Venus in disguise, and she informs him that this is the land of Dido, Queen of Carthage. Aeneas meets Dido, who welcomes the Trojans and invites them to her feast. During the feast, Venus has her son Cupid, God of Love, make Dido fall in love with Aeneas. He succeeds, and Dido asks Aeneas to tell her of the fall of Troy, which he does.

Virgil portrays the main female characters of the Aeneid as stubborn, selfish individuals who manipulate those around them to accomplish their goals. As seen throughout the first six books of the poem, Juno acts against Aeneas because he is destined to found Rome and destroy Carthage— a city dear to her heart. Juno also disrupts the order in the mortal world because she is still hurt about the time when Paris, a Trojan male, does not recognize her as the most gorgeous woman on earth. Virgil also portrays Venus as obstructive and self-centered because her goal is to ensure that somebody from her lineage founds Rome so that she can receive worship for such accomplishment. Due to this behavior, one can argue that the women of the
