- Compare with the Homeric Writing Style in the Iliad → Achilles and Patroclus
relationship ?
- Showcasing the suffering of War (see the Adam Perry scholarship below)
BOOK 10
Jupiter tells Venus and Juno about overseeing the war. Juno and Venus argue about their
favours over the Trojans- supported by Venus and the Latins- supported by Juno. Juno
slightly wins in this argument since Venus is characterised to be insanely emotional, weeps
and begs for Jupiter’s assurance that Aeneas (her own son) survives the battle.
Aeneas has gone mad → Furor because of the death of Pallas.”
- Positive Furor demonstrated by Aeneas when refusing Lucagus and Liger’s
supplication for mercy.
- “Painful toil” of war
- “Empty rage” → when Lausus is killed, Aeneas feels pity and remorse, despite
Lausus being an enemy of Aeneas. It’s also because Lausus is a child at war →
sympathy invoked from Modern Audiences. Perhaps Ancient Roman ones too.
- Perhaps also showing the humanity of Aeneas (he is emotional) so this evokes
sympathy and support garnered from the Greek and Modern Audiences.
However Pallas is not a friend of Aeneas, however Virgirl wrote this to emulate the death of
Patroclus and Achilles avenging Patroclus in the Iliad. Virgirl is copying Homeric
characterisation and style of plot, to show Aeneas “pivotal moment of rage” as plot
development of him as a hero.
- Again showcasing justified furor of Aeneas.
Turnus stole Pallas’ baldrick (sword belt) previously, after killing Pallas dishonourably.
- He even steps on Pallas’ dead body as he steals.
- He also wished for Evander (Pallas’ father) to witness the killing of Pallas.
- This exemplifies the characterisation of Turnus as an “anti hero” and a “foil” to
Aeneas.
Aristea = Moment of glory in War
Kleos is what you receive (rewards) from war.
Juno tries to save Turnus’ life by making a doppelganger of Aeneas (copying his shield and
weapons etc).
