Carthage was a thriving city that was quickly becoming the world super power. Virgil described the people bustling around the city like “bees in early summer that work at the blooming meadows under the sun” (1.520-521.62). They were led by Dido‚ a powerful queen that led fearlessly. She was introduced by Virgil saying‚ “[A] queen aglow with beauty…like Diana urging her dancing troupes along…” (1.599-602.64). She was incredible in power and beauty. Not only did they fall for each other on

Machiavelli Renaissance Humanism is defined as “a literary and linguistic movement-an attempt to revive classical Latin (and later Greek)‚ as well as the values and sensibilities that came with the language” (Hunt et al‚ 415). I think that Machiavelli was a humanist of his era because in his writing The Prince‚ he relied on history to provide a handbook to future rulers and princes. Machiavelli drew much of this guidebook from his past dealings with politicians and their self-ambitious monarchies

He knows he must continue on for the Roman Empire. While in Carthage‚ the queen‚ Dido‚ falls madly in love with him. The god Mercury came to visit Aeneas to remind him of his duty‚ “If you will not strive for your own honor‚ think of Ascanius‚ think of the expectations of your heir" (Virgil 982).

or maids are killed in the Odyssey. There is no deep internal struggle within Odysseus over whether or not he should destroy them all or even if his killing was unnecessary. In contrast there was a great struggle within Aeneas as he decided to leave Dido. This level of emotional thought is never touched by Homer. The Odyssey is based on logic not feeling. Logic tells Odysseus that since the suitors and maids have wronged him‚ they deserve his vengeance. There is no need for explanation of these actions

Even when Aeneas has to leave Dido against his own will‚ he is forced to stay on the path that Jupiter intends him to. His heart lies with Dido‚ however we see that he has no choice when he proclaims to her‚ “Cease to enflame my heart and yours with plaints: not by my choice I go to Italy” (Virgil‚ Book IV‚ 360).

Virgil’s Prevailing Hero The heroic characteristics introduced in Virgil’s Aeneid are different in comparison to the Homeric epic characteristics. Unlike Homeric epics the Iliad and the Odyssey‚ Virgil depicts Aeneas‚ the Aeneid epic hero‚ in a modern way‚ making Aeneas more relatable and better understood by the audience. The three major differences between Virgil’s epic hero‚ Aeneas‚ and Homer’s epic heroes‚ Achilleus and Odysseus‚ from the Iliad and the Odyssey are the use of inner struggles

They did not have a place where they their souls went to rest in peace. Instead‚ they went to where they were tortured for the rest of their immortal lives. This is shown in both epics‚ The Odyssey by Homer and The Aeneid by Virgil. In the Odyssey Odysseus into the underworld and you get his count on the awfulness of Hades‚ and too Aeneas goes
