The Aeneid || Questions and 100% Verified Answers.
Aeneas correct answers The protagonist of the Aeneid. Aeneas is a survivor of the siege of Troy,
a city on the coast of Asia Minor. His defining characteristic is piety, a respect for the will of the
gods. He is a fearsome warrior and a leader able to motivate his men in the face of adversity, but
also a man capable of great compassion and sorrow. His destiny is to found the Roman race in
Italy and he subordinates all other concerns to this mission. The Aeneid is about his journey from
Troy to Italy, which enables him to fulfill his fate.

Dido correct answers The queen of Carthage, a city in northern Africa, in what is now Tunisia,
and lover of Aeneas. Dido left the land of Tyre when her husband was murdered by Pygmalion,
her brother. She and her city are strong, but she becomes an unfortunate pawn of the gods in their
struggle for Aeneas's destiny. Her love for Aeneas proves to be her downfall. After he abandons
her, she constructs a funeral pyre and stabs herself upon it with Aeneas's sword.

Turnus correct answers The ruler of the Rutulians in Italy. Turnus is Aeneas's major antagonist
among mortals. He is Lavinia's leading suitor until Aeneas arrives. This rivalry incites him to
wage war against the Trojans, despite Latinus's willingness to allow the Trojans to settle in
Latium and Turnus's understanding that he cannot successfully defy fate. He is brash and
fearless, a capable soldier who values his honor over his life.

Ascanius correct answers Aeneas's young son by his first wife, Creusa. Ascanius (also called
Iulus) is most important as a symbol of Aeneas's destiny—his future founding of the Roman
race. Though still a child, Ascanius has several opportunities over the course of the epic to
display his bravery and leadership. He leads a procession of boys on horseback during the games
of Book V and he helps to defend the Trojan camp from Turnus's attack while his father is away.

Anchises correct answers Aeneas's father, and a symbol of Aeneas's Trojan heritage. Although
Anchises dies during the journey from Troy to Italy, he continues in spirit to help his son fulfill
fate's decrees, especially by guiding Aeneas through the underworld and showing him what fate
has in store for his descendants.

Creusa correct answers Aeneas's wife at Troy, and the mother of Ascanius. Creusa is lost and
killed as her family attempts to flee the city, but tells Aeneas he will find a new wife at his new
home.

Sinon correct answers The Greek youth who pretends to have been left behind at the end of the
Trojan War. Sinon persuades the Trojans to take in the wooden horse as an offering to Minerva,
then lets out the warriors trapped inside the horse's belly.

Latinus correct answers The king of the Latins, the people of what is now central Italy, around
the Tiber River. Latinus allows Aeneas into his kingdom and encourages him to become a suitor
of Lavinia, his daughter, causing resentment and eventually war among his subjects. He respects
the gods and fate, but does not hold strict command over his people.

, Lavinia correct answers Latinus's daughter and a symbol of Latium in general. Lavinia's
character is not developed in the poem; she is important only as the object of the Trojan-Latin
struggle. The question of who will marry Lavinia—Turnus or Aeneas—becomes key to future
relations between the Latins and the Trojans and therefore the Aeneid's entire historical scheme.

Amata correct answers Queen of Laurentum (a region of Latium, in Italy) and wife of Latinus.
Amata opposes the marriage of Lavinia, her daughter, to Aeneas and remains loyal throughout to
Turnus, Lavinia's original suitor. Amata kills herself once it is clear that Aeneas is destined to
win.

Evander correct answers King of Pallanteum (a region of Arcadia, in Italy) and father of Pallas.
Evander is a sworn enemy of the Latins, and Aeneas befriends him and secures his assistance in
the battles against Turnus.

Pallas correct answers Son of Evander, whom Evander entrusts to Aeneas's care and tutelage.
Pallas eventually dies in battle at the hands of Turnus, causing Aeneas and Evander great grief.
To avenge Pallas's death, Aeneas finally slays Turnus, dismissing an initial impulse to spare him.

Drancës correct answers A Latin leader who desires an end to the Trojan-Latin struggle. Drancës
questions the validity of Turnus's motives at the council of the Latins, infuriating Turnus.

Camilla correct answers The leader of the Volscians, a race of warrior maidens. Camilla is
perhaps the only strong mortal female character in the epic.

Juturna correct answers Turnus's sister. Juno provokes Juturna into inducing a full-scale battle
between the Latins and the Trojans by disguising herself as an officer and goading the Latins
after a treaty has already been reached.

Achates correct answers A Trojan and a personal friend of Aeneas.

Juno correct answers The queen of the gods, the wife and sister of Jupiter, and the daughter of
Saturn. Juno (Hera in Greek mythology) hates the Trojans because of the Trojan Paris's judgment
against her in a beauty contest. She is also a patron of Carthage and knows that Aeneas's Roman
descendants are destined to destroy Carthage. She takes out her anger on Aeneas throughout the
epic, and in her wrath acts as his primary divine antagonist.

Venus correct answers The goddess of love and the mother of Aeneas. Venus (Aphrodite in
Greek mythology) is a benefactor of the Trojans. She helps her son whenever Juno tries to hurt
him, causing conflict among the gods. She is also referred to as Cytherea, after Cythera, the
island where she was born and where her shrine is located.

Jupiter correct answers The king of the gods, and the son of Saturn. While the gods often
struggle against one another in battles of will, Jupiter's will reigns supreme and becomes
identified with the more impersonal force of fate. Therefore, Jupiter (also known as Jove, and
called Zeus in Greek mythology) directs the general progress of Aeneas's destiny, ensuring that
