What strengths make Aeneas a leader?

The adjective that Vergil keeps applying to Aeneas is "pius." "Pius" is almost the same as our modern word "pious," but it means more than that. Virgil seems to be saying that Aeneas is so successful because he follows the will of the gods without question. (This is particularly true when Aeneas abandons the woman he loves - Dido - because he had a dream that reminded him that founding Rome is his destiny.) Aeneas always does exactly what the gods tell him to, no matter how wrong it may seem to him (or to us).


Did Aeneas feel like a unwilling pawn to the gods?

Aeneas was very mindful of his duty to the gods. He was told by Hector in a dream that Troy would fall, and he should leave the city with the gods of the city immediately so that he could found a new city for them. While his first reaction to the danger to his city was to fight, he eventually saw that his duty to his gods was more important and left his burning home behind. This is an example of furor and pietas, furor being the indulgence in his emotions when he was fighting, and pietas being the duty he showed to his gods and family when he left the city. There are many examples of his showing these qualities, and the pietas (pious) emotions usually win over Aeneas eventually. Basically, much of Aeneas' troubles were due to the gods, but he was not adverse to fulfilling his duty, as this was his way of leading his people to a new prosperous life and continuing his divine heritage.


Do bears dream during hibernation, and if so, what might they dream about?

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that bears dream during hibernation. Hibernating animals enter a state of reduced metabolic activity, where their body functions slow down to conserve energy. It is not known what they might dream about, if they do dream at all.

Why Dido better remembered with Aeneas?

Dido is the nearest thing to a lovestory in the Aeneid. Aeneas has sex with Dido (who is a widow when the story opens), but when he has a dream telling him he needs to continue in his quest to found Rome - he walks out on her. Dido commits suicide. People like lovestories, so people like the story of Dido and Aeneas. Women like it because it is a typical exampe of the 'all men are rats' genre. Men like it because it shows that even if you are a rat, there are still women who will die for you.

What is the moral lesson of the Aeneid by Vergil?

The great moral lesson of the Aeneid is probably that you must follow your destiny, not your dreams.In Carthage in Book III, Aeneas really wants to stay and settle down with Dido. But the gods remind him that his work is to establish the Roman race in Italy, so he leaves Dido and sets sail afresh.Throughout the poem Aeneas is called pius : godfearing.The moral centre of the book is probably when Aeneas meets Dido in the Underworld. Aeneas is heartbroken to see how his leaving Dido has driven her to suicide, he tells her so. But he also explains that he had no choice: his life was not his own.Dido will not listen to him, she is locked into her own misery.Dido follows her dream, and brings ruin on herself (and, in the long term, on her people).Aeneas follows his destiny, and finds fulfilment for himself, and for the eternal city of Rome.
