Aeneas’ interpretation of amor focuses on his higher purposes and future attachments‚ whereas Dido’s focuses on her personal‚ present attachments. Aeneas is not the most poignant speech maker‚ as is revealed through his only rebuttal of Dido’s claims.

Ignorant Heroics If one were to walk methodically through an art gallery viewing the lovely artworks of the past you’d have to really stop and notice those of the Renaissance.

from the Aeneid (lines 296 - 705)‚ the story of Dido and Aeneas is exquisitely compiled by Virgil starting from Dido’s suspicion of Aeneas’ deceit and ending with her death.

One of my favorite pieces of music is Dido’s Lament‚ from Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. The slow‚ sorrowful melody is hauntingly beautiful‚ and though it contains few lyrics‚ the text infers a rich backstory of romantic love and a grieving‚ broken heart. Purcell uses several elements archetypal to Baroque era music styling to convey a dramatic story of emotional extremes‚ from love to heartache; a concept prevalent over all human cultures and generations. Henry Purcell was considered one of
