Character Of Aeneas:

Synopsis:

Motifs:

Aeneas was constantly representing his epithet "

pious Aeneas" he was always being devout to gods, family,

and friends, as well as upholding a high stature to represent the

fact that pious people are often seen as leaders.

"Aeneas had brought in his conquered gods and claimed to be a king called for by destiny;...his name reverberated far and wide through Latium..."(15-19)

"And grave Aeneas dedicated her to thee, Juno the great, to

thee indeed, lifting both the sow and brood before the alter in

sacrifice."(114-117)

First quote representing the upholding of a leader, second

quote representing the religion and goddess devotion.

Founding of a city: The first half of

the book is dedicated to the journey, the

second half is dedicated to fulfilling the

founding of Rome

Prophecies: there is a recurrence of these though

out the books, in book 8 the shield prophecied the

events to happen in Rome.

The Symbol of Fire: Fire is representing either

destruction, erotic love, and the love between friends.

Vulcan, who is the god of fire and forging is convinced

into creating the weapons and armor.

Water: In book 8 water seems to be a recurring piece,

"As when from basins full of unstilled water, struck by

a ray of sun, or a bright disk moon..." (30-32) Also in,

"I am that river in full flood you see cutting through

farmland, gliding past these banks, the sea-blue

Tiber, heaven delighting stream..." (82-85)

Turnus rounds up local recruits against the foreign

invaders, and try to convince Diomedes to take up

fight against the Latins. Aeneas falls asleep and sees Tiberinus, who

tells him the gods aren't mad at him anymore and that he shouldn't

be afraid of the upcoming war. He also tells Aeneas to go to the

Arcadians, which is ruled by Evander, whom are always at was with

the latins and Aeneas should bring them on his side. Tiberinus also

tells Aeneas to prat to Juno to try and win her over. He wakes up and

orders his men to take up two ships. As they are readying the ships he

sees the animals from the prophecy and decides to sacrifice them to Juno.

Tiberinus makes the waters completely stilled so the ships can travel

safely. The Arcadians are making a sacrifice to Hercules when they

arrive. Pallas asks who they are and Aeneas explains his mission.

Evander agrees to give Aeneas some troops to fight the Latins,

but continues their celebration. When the feast is done

Evander tells the story of Cacus, who kills people and

belches fire. Evander explains that

Hercules came to destroy Cacus

and that is why the Arcadians

now worship him.

When the feast is over

they continue worshiping Hercules.

The king tells Aeneas to get comfortable

and so he does and goes to sleep. Venus, who is

concerned about what is going on, convinces her

husband to make special armor for Aeneas. The next

morning Vulcan starts to make the armor and Evander tells

Aeneas that the Arcadians themselves are not going to be enough

against Turnus and the latins. Evander says that Aeneas should

command the troops (made up of Euterians and the Arcadians.) and says that he is going to send Pallas (Evanders son) into war with Aeneas to

learn the art of war. After their talk Evander and Aeneas make sacrifices

and head out. On their way out they meet up with Venus, who gives
