Purpose of the Aeneid
- to write a myth of Rome's origins to emphasise the grandeur
+ legitimise the success of an empire that had already
conquered most of the known world
- Aeneid points towards this already realised cultural pinnacle
- works backwards
- shows former as being historically derived
from the latter
- works backwards
- Aeneas justifies his settlement in Latium
in the same way that the empire justified
its settlement in numerous other foreign
territories
- connects political + social
situation of his day with the
inherited tradition of Greek gods
+ heroes
- order + good government triumph
emphatically over the latin people
- Italian world prior to the Trojans arrival
is characterised as a primative
existence of war, chaos + emotional
irrationality
- empire under Augustus contrasts:
generally a world of peace, order and
emotional stability
