Paperback. Zustand: Gut. 92 p. In good condition. - Vergil's celebrated romance involves two marvelous creations: Phoenician Dido, the beautiful, passionate, and impulsive ruler of Carthage, and Trojan Aeneas, the refugee from the fall of Troy, a handsome, middle-aged widower with a growing son, valiant, impressionable, fundamentally devout and dutiful, and destined to be the forefather of Rome. Their story is concentrated into Books I and IV of the Aeneid. Shipwrecked through Juno's devices on the shores of Libya (modem Tunisia) while seeking his new home in the West, Aeneas meets Dido, who is engaged in building her new city of Carthage. A young woman recently widowed, and childless, Dido welcomes the Trojans. Her youthfulness, which is in keeping with Mediterranean marriage customs where girls were often married at fifteen or sixteen, increases the pathos of her experience. With divine intervention by Juno and Venus, and smitten by the arrow of Cupid, Dido falls hopelessly in love with Aeneas. Although resistant at the outset to her personal feelings and to divine pressure, Dido finally surrenders to passionate love for Aeneas and his son Ascanius, and to "marriage." When Aeneas is recalled to his mission by Jupiter's command, he sets aside his personal happiness and abandons Dido. The desperate queen begs, threatens, and curses Aeneas, but all in vain. Finally, invoking eternal hatred between Carthage and Rome and summoning an unspecified avenger (whom we recognize as Hannibal), Dido commits suicide. Aeneas encounters her later in Hades, where she is reunited with her former husband, Sychaeus, who had been murdered in Tyre, her Near Eastern home.
