Prophecies foretold to Aeneas by Anchises (the Dad… NOT THE SON)

The relationship between Aeneas and Anchises as father and son, could be deemed as
“bittersweet and close” in an Ancient Greek perspective. “Who is there to keep you from my
arms?” is dialogue used by Virgil through Anchises to express how much he misses Aeneas
as Anchises is in “Dis”- possibly a Roman version of the afterlife. The fact he wants Aeneas
in his arms, is because of his paternal instincts and how he misses being in physical contact
with Aeneas.

Pallineas fell from a ship and drowned in order to be a sacrifice for Aeneas to go to Italy.
Pallineas was drowned by a God (I think it was Neptune)
- Gods and Fate



BOOK 6

Aeneas goes to the afterlife and the underworld

Tartarus is the Roman version of Hell
- “Torrent of fire”
- “Tartarus, place of the damned”
- “Punishment for evil-doers”
- “Men caught and killed in adultery” sin of Lust
- “Who in life hated their brothers and killed their fathers” sin of Wrath
- “Found wealth and brooded over it” → sins of Greed

Reincarnation is mentioned “These are the souls to whom fate owes a second body”
(hinduism beliefs)

Features Roman Propaganda
- “Augustus Caesar, son of a God” → reference to Caesar being deified to avoid
accusations of tyranny,
- Links Augustus to divinity.
- “Romulus, son of Mars”
- “Father-in-law swoops from the ramparts of the Alps” HANNIBAL
- Featured through Anchises’s dialogue. The dialogue also indicates the foretelling of
Rome’s glory → Virgil is recalling Roman stories such as Romulus and Remus,
Rome vs Hannibal (Carthaginian at the Alps with Elephants invading Italy” etc.
- “Avenging Brutus” (NOT THE BRUTUS WHO KILLED JULIUS CAESAR) → he
assassinated Tarquinius superbus because superbus was a tyrannical king in Rome.
CONTEXT: Rome hates the monarchy.

PATRIOTISM = “do not turn your strong hands against the flesh of your motherland” (don’t
kill people of the rome)

Turnus is referred to as the “2nd Achilles” in terms of strength as a warrior
