Document Summary
Dido curses him and thus gives a mythical reason for the enmity between romans and carthaginians. The underworld visions of roman greatness (aeneid, book 6) Trojan survivors settle in latium, province where rome will be. Now the story in books 7-12 becomes like the iliad. Her father latinus, offers her to aeneas even though she is betrothed to someone else. She was already engaged to another prince when her father did this. She and her mother, wanted lavinia to marry turnus this is a feeling that one gets while reading the story. Aeneas kills turnus at the very end of the aeneid. Sons of : mars (areas) the war god, more fertility and protecting in mars, avenges wrongs against you, rhea silvia a vestal virgin; descendent of aeneas and iulus. Rome founded by the twin sons of rhea silvia and mars. But in the process rimulus kills remus. Vergil does the same thing in aeneid.
