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.
