FATE- Aeneas' destiny to found Rome, furthers
through this book.
BE PLEASANT TO WANDERERS- Arcadian King Evander
welcomes Aeneas and company to feast
GLORIFIED ROME- the shield depicts the story of the glory of
Rome to come.
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
Aeneas his new armor, which includes a shield that depicts many scenes of future Roman history, which Aeneas likes.
