Eumaeus heard the discussion and said: "Don't listen to this girl, she has gone mad after having lost her father, the queen is not ready to pick a suitor yet!" I couldn't tell Eumaeus about my arrangement as he could have ruined it all.
After all the suitors had gathered in the great hall, I've locked all of the doors so that none could escape my father's revenge. My father appeared, and, as if he knew what my plan had been, he asked me for his armor and for his weapons. Soon enough, the great hall boiled as my father murdered every single one of my mother's suitors.
The story of Aeneis pretty much resembles that of Odysseus and like the Greek hero, the Trojan goes through great efforts until reaching his destination. Homer's influence on the Aeneis is seen clearly across the epic.
However, in an attempt to give a unique touch to the epic, and, also, to adapt it to Roman customs of the period, Virgil goes at endowing Aeneis with an exceptional feature which he presumably leaves to the Roman world: piety.
In the Aeneis, piety is shown under the form of Pietas, a part of Aeneis which makes him act according to his mind, and not according to his heart. During his stay in Charthage, Aeneis falls madly in love with Dido,...
They fall in love because of a deal which Juno tricked Venus into having. Because of his love for Dido, Aeneis forgets the main purpose of his mission: to reach Italy and to lay the grounds for an empire on the land.
Jupiter intervenes and with the help of Mercury makes Aeneis realize that he had to fulfill his duty. Without giving it another thought, Aeneis decides to leave and behind him Dido commits suicide. Unmoved by Dido's act, Aeneis moves on to complete his mission in Italy.
Aeneis is proof that great people cannot pay much attention to their personal life, for they have a much greater goal that they have to achieve.
The Aeneis and the Odyssey are also similar because of the fact that the two heroes are both being prevented from reaching their destination because of women. While Circe wants Odysseus to stay with her, Dido stops Aeneis from completing his mission. Odysseus forgets that he has to return home and spends a year with Circe on her island after which his men remind him that they have to leave. Aeneis stays with Dido for some time until Mercury reminds him that he has to finish his duty.

For the most part women in the Odyssey are essentially one of three things: sexualized monsters, in the form of Circe, Calypso, the Sirens, and even Scylla; asexual helpers and servants, in the form of Athena and Eurycleia; and finally, seemingly helpless damsels, in the form of Penelope. To this one may add what is essentially the lowest of the low class within the poem, those women who are sexually
Odyssey Homer's Odyssey is a classic epic poem, demonstrating all the hallmarks of epic poem structure and the epic journey cycle. The narrative of the Odyssey follows the return on Odysseus from Troy, a journey that takes ten years and spans many locations and setbacks, until he finally reaches his home in Ithaca. Even then, Homer must deal with one final setback before being successfully reunited with his family. This paper

"Alas!" said one, "what oceans yet remain For us to sail! what labors to sustain" (Book IV). Playing on their already frustrated emotions, they are quick to succumb when "the goddess, great in mischief, views their pains" (Virgil Book V). Stirred-up by the goddess, the women set fire to the ships, only to have them put out by the Trojans with some assistance from the gods. Thus, this is just another example in
Aeneid - the Duty-Bound Aeneas Aeneas was a Trojan prince who fled from the ruins of Troy to look for Italy as his new fatherland. In his voyage, Aeneas shatters the heart of Dido - the Carthaginian queen, pays a visit to the Underworld, and finds Lavinium, a city on the coast of Italy. His mother is the goddess Venus, and he is a descendant of mighty Jove. According to the
