What are five adjectives or phrases to describe Aeneas (The Aeneid) and why?
1.) “‘The man you seek is here. I stand before you, Trojan Aeneas, torn from Libyan waves.'” Book 1, lines 836-837 (Trojan Aeneas, obviously because he comes from Troy) 2.) “pius Aeneas” Pius” is not a misspelling of the word “pious,” although it has a similar meaning. It refers to a person with a strong element of pietas, a strong sense of duty to one’s parents, gods, and state. (http://www.libarts.ucok.edu/english/facu… 3.) Later in Book X, Aeneas is described as “the God-fearing captain” because his aim with his spear is steady. Because Aeneas is submissive to the gods, he will win in battle and will ultimately reach his goal—to build a city where he and his fellow countrymen can live peaceful, ordered lives.
