Pietas in Ancient Roman Society and Literature

Pieta is very important in Roman society and most Romans live around it. Pieta means dedication to God, morality, morality, responsibility including the country and family. (Classnote notes) The Romans must demonstrate correct actions against God, the nation, and their families. Virgil showed Pietas with a novel "Aneid". He expresses Pieta through the hero, Aeneas, actions and actions. Through Pieta's example, we can compare Romans, Augustusans, and Aeneas people. Pieta is clearly stated in Jo - Ann Shelton 's novel "As Romans Did".

Rome's ideal Pieta ("religious, due diligence") is to convert from Latin to a loose selfless feeling to his own filial piety, religion, social obligation, which is the key of the ancient Roman morality I can. Through Aeneid, Aeneas appeared 20 times in the phrase "devoted Aeneas" in his poetry as an incarnation of Pieta and fulfilled his ability as a father of the Romans. For example, Aeneas in Book 2 talks about how he brought his father Angies from the town of Troy burning. / Then he turned his face to the mountain range. In addition, Aeneas entered the underworld and realized the desire of Angies. His father's gratitude is expressed in the text as follows: "You have finally come to this loyalty / Is your father expected to conquer this journey?

Aeneas has been called piously (pius Aeneas appeared many times in Latin), and this concept not only respects God in the culture of Rome. Pieta also includes respect and concern for human responsibility for families and countries. Aeneas is an example of almost ideal Pieta. He is working very carefully to protect his family, especially his father and his son. While destroying Troy, he carried a disabled father and grabbed his son's hand. His father, Angies, is his most respected advisor. Aeneas also held Troy's family spirit and carried the soul of his old house to a new house with Italian fate. Of course, Aeneas marks the god with sacrifice and sacrifice. In addition to Juno he was unable to appease, the gods rewarded his respect by answering his prayers.

The main theme of "Aneid" is the opposite. The main opposition is Aeneas (led by Jupiter), which represents the ancient virtues of "Pieta" (a rational judgment for God, family and family, important qualities of any glorious Rome including faith and responsibility It is considered to be ")", and to "Dido" and "Turnus (directed by Juno)" unrestrained "anger" (unconscious passion and anger). However, other objections such as fate and behavior, men and women, Rome and Carthage, "Aeneas as Odysseus" (books 1 to 6), "as Aeneas" are in other enemies. "Achilles" (7 to 12 volumes); calm weather and storms, etc
