Modern Scholarship- The Aeneid || very Flawless.
Hardie-Fate and Aeneas' character correct answers What is often perceived as the colourless
quality of Aeneas' character is largely the result of the roles forced upon him by the plot of the
Aeneid: rather than being strongly driven by an internal desire or ambition, he is forced into a
mission by circumstances beyond his control.

Lyne-relationships of Aeneas correct answers It is Aeneas who comes or should come most
interestingly and often into contact with other people. But it his interaction with others that is
minimal. In general, it is Aeneas' relationships that Virgil appears to neglect. Virgil seems
curiously disinclined to show Aeneas responding or relating to others....But is this Virgil's
neglect? Are we to sense a further voice saying something oblivious

Jenkyns correct answers disagrees that Aeneas is a stoic hero (one who can rise above his
emotions) or even a Roman one and says that in fact, his main fault is feeling too much.

Willaims-Aeneas as the social man correct answers Aeneas has to be the social man, the man
who through his care for others succeeds in leading his group or his society, not aiming to
achieve personal satisfaction by surpassing others in excellence, but to use his qualities in order
to achieve their successes. We may all decide personally whether (Virgil) has been successful in
his new creation - and may well decide that he has not; but we must not judge Aeneas adversely
because we think he ought to be like Achilles

Powers correct answers The fact that Aeneas holds so much love for his father will always be
Aeneas' great characteristic, and he who carried his father out of Troy on his back, displays this
quality of pietas again when he visits the Underworld. His sole reason to enter the Underworld
lies with Anchises himself.

R.D Willaims key themes in book 6 correct answers Book 6 explores three of the main themes of
the poem: the character of Aeneas, religious ideas and the patriotic presentation of Rome's
greatness. He notes that the pageant of unborn Roman heroes which Anchises describes is the
most powerful patriotic passage in the whole poem, with Augustus himself deliberately placed
next to Romulus to suggest he is another founder of Rome. The worldwide extent of his glory
makes his comparable to Hercules and Bacchus, both of whom were deified for their great deeds
- implying the same will happen to Augustus.

Cowan correct answers Father-son relationships (and suffering) are central to the plot

C.J.Mackie-Aeneas in book 2 correct answers (Book 2) 'As the third section begins, Aeneas'
desire for vengeance obliterates his concern for his family'

H. Osbourne Ryder-Ascanius correct answers Ascanius, his son, is the little hero, second only in
importance to the father. ...the 'boy Ascanius' is the impelling and compelling personality
working throughout the poem and inspiring the father to do and to dare for the sake of his dear
son and for the future greatness of Rome.

, Davis correct answers "fond father, as always thoughtful of his son." 'This is a direct statement of
the father's great love for his son, and it has great significance later in the poem"

C.J .Mackie (Aeneas' men) correct answers 'He has a genuine concern for the safety of his
missing men and groans as he thinks about them. Virgil describes him as pious Aeneas for this
reason because he, more than anyone is preoccupied with their safety'

C.J. Mackie (Venus) correct answers Virgil stresses the bond which the son feels for his mother

H.W Benario (Pallas) correct answers The relationship between Aeneas and Pallas is indicated
by lines (159-62). Evander, on the site of Pallanteum, had entrusted his son to Aeneas. Pallas
learns from Aeneas like Dido did, asking about his suffering which only the most significant
figures in the Aeneid do. When Pallas dies, Aeneas is fully conscious of the trust shown to him
by Evander. (515-17).' There thus seems to be no doubt in Vergil's mind about the relationship
between the two'. He feels the loss as great as if he were his own s

Griffin-Augustus and Aeneas correct answers Virgil doesn't just flatter Augustus, he inspires him
to lead like Aeneas- From this point on Aeneas' leadership can be see as that of the ideal Roman
leader

Syed correct answers Argues that women, in particular Dido and Lavinia come to symbolise
their nations geographically-so Lavinia as the 'proper' Latin woman as opposed to the foreign
and chaotic Dido

Oliensis correct answers The uncomplicatedly virtuous women of the epic, Creusa and Lavinia,
prove their virtue precisely by submitting to the masculine plot history-Creusa by accepting her
regulation to the past and Lavinia by not resisting her exploitation for the future.

Pattie correct answers Argues that the poem is 'Augustan in its presentation of Roman values.

Robert B. Lloyd- The character of Anchises in the Aeneid correct answers The presentation of
Anchises in Book 2 and 3 is consistent. To him as pater familias every major decision is referred,
from the departure from his house in Troy until his death his Sicily.
-He is sensitive to the matter of divine will
-From the beginning he assumes a position of leadership in counsel.

Louis H. Feldman- The character of Ascanius in the Aeneid correct answers -Ascanius develops
across the book to give the audience a sense of time despite the fact that most other characters
remain static
-Ascanius is part of Virgil's focus for the future whereas Homer was solely concerned with the
past.
-Ascanius, Euryalus, Lausus and Pallas should be seen in comparison to one another as Virgil
deals with the central issue of the moral and physical health of contemporary Rome following
decades of civil war
