Fate is the essential idea of The Aeneid‚ but more importantly‚ the underlying force throughout the text. Fate cannot be changed; it is the set of events with the inevitable result. Virgil uses the idea of fate to narrate and advance through his epic poem‚ but perhaps also to illustrate that the gods had originally intended for Rome to become a great and powerful empire.
