The counterpart of Aeneid


           When it is the night of fall of Troy, Aeneas' wife, Creusa, begs him to consider her and her young son, Ascanius to come with Aeneas to the war and takes his son by the hand, and tells Creusa to follow behind then they approach the gates. The similarity of this on Iliad is to highlight is that both Achilles and Aeneas have a pivotal friend in who dies in battle which causes a similar reaction in each of them. Aeneas’ friend, and son of the King who treated him so kindly, Pallas was killed at the hands of Turnus. We see at the ending of the Aeneid that Aeneas has the same type of reaction that Achilles had toward Hector. the difference is when Aeneas is mentioned in the Iliad as some kind of company captain in the Trojan army; since Hector is the commander in chief of the Trojan forces, the relation between the two heroes must have been close.In the Aeneid the ghost of Hector brings Aeneas the penates of Troy to carry to Italy.

Victories and Defeats


      The story of Aeneid has victories and defeats. The down part when Pallas died because of Turnus and the death of Pallas makes Aeneas rage. The ups part is when Aeneas defeated Turnus because when he saw the belt of Pallas and Aeneas makes rage. Another ups when the wooden horse was safely put inside the wall.Then another defeat when Camilla but Opis had a victory when she revenged her friend

      All the story has its ups and downs. The two of them are spices of a story and it makes the story more beautiful

Side of Aeneas

      When Aeneas sail to another place then he find Dido and tell the sorrowful fall of Troy, I feel sympathy to Aeneas because he was very affected on his story and when he tell his story, the pain is going back again.to Aeneas. My feeling doesn't change when the knowledge that Aeneas himself will leave to find Rome because he want to have a land for the Trojans and it is alright to leave because  no one holds him and he is protected by a goddess and he got many friends along the way because he is a good man.
