Describe what type of person Aeneas was?
The adjective that Vergil most often applies to Aeneas is pius. This is closely related to the English word pious, but a better translation is probably godfearing.All through the Aeneid Vergil shows Aeneas surrendering his own desires to the will of the gods. When Troy falls, Aeneas wants to stay and fight - even if it means being killed. But it is his destiny to leave with the city's gods and carry them to a new home in Italy - so that is what he does.Later in Carthage Aeneas wants to stay with Dido. But he is reminded that the Gods want him to leave and sail for Italy. Aeneas complains, but he obeys.Aeneas has human wishes and desires, but he knows that the greatest of all virtues is Obedience. He would have made an excellent Saint, or an SS officer.
What are the similarities and differences between Achilles from Homer's Iliad and Aeneas from Virgil's The Aeneid Books?
The two heroes could hardly be more different.Achilles is obsessed with his personal glory. In the Iliad he quarrels with Agamemnon, and withdraws his army from the Greek force. Achilles doesn't care if the war is lost - his own needs and desires come before everything else.Aeneas spends the entire poem submitting to the will of the gods. (This is why Aeneas is always called pius 'pious'). Aeneas wants to stay with Dido and live happily ever after, but the will of the gods is that Rome needs to be founded. Aeneas has a job to do.During the fall of Troy Aeneas has the chance to kill Helen, and wants to. But he is warned not to by his mother Aphrodite (Venus). So Aeneas does what fate wants, not what he wants.

Why did Anna and dido both think that Aeneas should stay?
Dido was in love with Aeneas, and after the death of her husband Sychaeus, she thought she would never find love again, until by Venus's influences, she became enamored of Aeneas's bravery and strength. Anna encouraged her to love Aeneas, telling Dido that she should not waste her youth alone and grieving, that she should find love in Aeneas and end her mourning. Also, Anna brought up to Dido that combining her and Aeneas's forces could perhaps strengthen and fortify the kingdom. Anna believed that having the Trojans as allies would make the glory of Carthage infinite. She believed that Dido should not deprive herself of the pleasures of love, and that Aeneas was blessed by Juno and had been fated to come here for Dido.
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.

Why does Venus disguise herself to Aeneas in book one of the Aeneid?
This is down to how you interperate it. If you look at their differences, she is immortal and he mortal so they don't have a great family connection. She disguises herself to get important infomation to her son about Libya and Dido whilst evading the need to stay any longer. Also, it is important to note that her disguise is that of a Spartan girl. The description given to the Roman audience is that of a sexually provocative nature at the time so why would she want to do it if Aeneas is her son?
What is the Aeneid about?
The Aeneid is about the adventures of Aeneas after the Fall of Troy. He was forced to flee with his father and his son, but his wife was lost in the chaos. With them and other fugitives, he tried to fulfill his prophecy of becoming a great ruler in Italy, but Juno (the goddess) hated him just because he was Trojan, so she got Aeolus (king of the winds) to create a giant storm around all of his ships. Neptune (god of water) stepped in and got rid of the winds and only one of the ships sunk in the storm. However, the storm pushed them all to Libya instead of Italy and they land near Carthage. Queen Dido (of Carthage) welcomes the Trojans with open arms, especially Aeneas. Initially, the Trojans were just going to get some supplies and go, but Dido fell in love with Aeneas and so the Trojans were reluctant to leave. A few years later, Zeus sent Hermes (messenger of the gods) to Aeneas in a dream to remind him of his prophecy and get him to go to Italy. He immediately starts preparing the ships to leave without telling Dido. When she finds out, she is furious at him, but she can't convince him to stay, so she gets her sister to help her build a funeral pyre full of everything Aeneas left in Carthage, intending to burn it all, even their bed. When she sees the Trojan ships leaving off in the distance, she is overcome with sorrow, and she commits suicide by stabbing herself and falling onto the pyre. Eventually, Aeneas is told that he has to visit the underworld for advice from his now dead father before proceeding, and with Sibyl's (an oracle) help, he makes it into the underworld. He sees several lost friends and he sees Dido, who refuses to acknowledge him and merely turns and goes back to her first husband, who was dead before she met Aeneas. His father warns him of the upcoming war and Aeneas goes to Italy. There, he meets King Latinus and his daughter Lavinia. Another prophecy states that Lavinia must marry a foreigner, which is why King Latinus believes he should break his promise to King Turnus, who was supposed to marry Lavinia, and give his daughter to Aeneas instead. Juno's back and she doesn't like that Aeneas is going to be happy, so she sends Allecto (a fury) to Italy to enrage everyone and start a violent war over Lavinia. Aeneas goes to look for allies and he finds King Evander, who gives him troops and his own son, Pallas, to fight against Turnus. Pallas becomes like a second son to Aeneas. Later, Turnus kills Pallas in battle and steals his belt as a war prize. When Aeneas and Turnus finally face off in the end of the book, Aeneas overpowers Turnus and debates whether he should kill him or not. Turnus gives a brave farewell speech at swordpoint and Aeneas considers not killing him, but then he sees Pallas' belt on Turnus and he kills him in a rage. Virgil died before finishing the book, so that's where it ends. I'm a student in AP Latin, so I've had to read this entire poem and this is it's summary.
