In the Latin epic poem "The Aeneid" written by the Virgil, the Trojan hero Aeneas fights to return home after the city of Troy falls. On his escape out of the city, he sees a very tragic vision of his dead wife, Creusa.
Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, was the emperor during Vergil's lifetime. But it is unlikely that Augustus 'commissioned' the Aeneid. Vergil was a close friend of Maecenas (Augustus had two 'lieutenants': Agrippa and Maecenas. Maecenas was the expert on handling political wrangling, including arts propaganda), but Vergil seems to have made his own choices over what poems he wrote. It is also a moot point whether the Aeneid celebrates 'Rome' precisely. The Aeneid is about Aeneas, who founded the royal family which would eventually build Rome. Aeneas was the original ancestor of the Gens Julia - the Roman family which Julius Caesar was born into, and which had adopted the emperor Augustus. But there may be a difference between celebrating a national family, and celebrating the nation itself. It would be possible to write an epic about the Obama family, which also happened to say good things about the US. But that wouldn't be quite the same thing as writing an epic precisely about the US. It is interesting that when Propertius writes about the Aeneid (still being composed - probably - while Propertius was finishing Elegies 2.34) he says: nescio quid maius nascitur Iliade (for all I know, we may be getting something grander than the Iliad). But the Iliad is not a poem about Greece; it is a poem about Achilles.
The poem makes reference to the Bay of Fundy, a body of water which touches the northern edge of Maine but is predominantly Canadian (Nova Scotia). Robert Lowell is considered a New England poet, so it makes sense that he would have direct knowledge about the dialect spoken in Maine.
because song is poem is poem and that's that's so should i be this confused?
