Document Summary
Arrival at carthage (bk i) north africas. Juno"s storm she is tormenting aeneas because juno had been spurned by paris (does not like the people) Sick with mounting cares he assumes a look of hope and keeps his anguish buried deep in his heart. Even then, if fate had not opposed it, it was her dearest hope to establish here a throne of power over nations far and wide. But anxiously she heard that from trojan blood a new people was rising, which upon the destined day would utterly overwhelm her tyrian towers; a people of wide power, proud in victory, would bring libya"s doom. Such was the web the fatal sisters spun. Juno loves carthage, it is her city. She knows that there will be a descendant from these people that will bring her city down. Does not like that he is a trojan and does not like his fate.
