Vergil, Aeneas and Augustian Propaganda

Introduction Caesar Augustus held absolute power in 31 BC. It means protection of Roman politics from the Republic to the monarchy, although it was protected with obvious conservatism. To commemorate the surname of Juliet was by forming a stated myth and Augustus and his reign were united. Through Augustus's claim, Virgil created Aenid, explained the mythical foundation of the Juliet regime, and after the civil war, explained how Augustus gave hope for prosperity in Rome as instructed by God . so.

Aeneas is a small letter of Iliad, but later Latin epic hero was written by Egnell Virgil. Virgil made Aeneas the founder of Rome (to be precise, the Italian town that established Rome later). But at Homer, after the Greeks left and the Trojans rebuilt, Aeneas was destined to become the king of Troy. Then, please consider how the new evidence corrects the situation. I think that our understanding of Trojan war is almost wrong. In the old view, the war was determined by the battle between the champions in Troy's plains; the besieged city had never the opportunity to stand up against the Greeks; the Trojan must be a myth . But now we know that Trojan wars are mainly low-intensity conflicts and civilian attacks; it is more like a war with terror rather than war in World War II Thing. There is no siege of Troy. The Greeks are weak and have the only skills that will allow them to accept Troy. This technique is probably a Trojan horse.

Vergil's novel "Aeneid" was a great story of the goddess Aeneas of the Prince Troy and the goddess Venus, bravely defending Troy until one-tenth of the war was burned by the Greeks. As now the founder of the city of Rome, God predicted his fate where he must lead his son Ascanius for him, and he is summoned and the rest of the Trojan horse. Characterization, scenes, themes, plots and symbols are all important parts of this novel's analysis.

Romans were not only modern, but also Virgil as well as ancient. Through comparison of Aeneas and Dido in patriotism and respect, Virgil accepted the aspect of Dide and criticized Aeneas which is the value of the Roman Empire, suggesting that Virgil himself is opposed to Augustus. The set value is skeptical. First of all, Virgil used Ainoas that patriotism is strong to express doubts about patriotism. Is patriotism important? Aeneas is undoubtedly a patriotic personality: he tried to protect the falling Troy and expressed deep condolences for it.

Vergil 's devout hero has a long history as Barney Stinson, Tucker Max, and its pioneer idea. A Victorian critic like George Saintsbury regards Aeneas as a non-heroic person dealing with Dido. In addition, the idea of ​​a Trojan as a pickup artist was born from Ineid himself, when the Latin soldier Numanasremulus mocked the Trojan horse and accused them of wanting to steal Latin brides. This characterization eventually comes from the image of Iliad, especially Paris. This is a more natural comparison of Barnistinson treating his suits and slapping their faces.
