| | But the home Aeneas sails to is a new one, and his quest is to establish something that had not before existed, rather than to return to something he once knew, as Odysseus does. | | | This destiny is what enables Virgil to reshape the character he found in Homer, transforming a warrior hero into a man with a mission that will influence the world for centuries to come. | | | The Aeneid is like The Odyssey in recounting a series of Mediterranean adventures and an eventual homecoming (Books 1-6). |

| | Vergil did not create the Trojan legend of Roman origins, but his poem solidified the notion in popular and scholarly sentiment. | | | The Aeneid, written by Vergil 700 years after Homer, at the commission of Augustus (himself in the process of consolidating his authority over Rome), turns the heroic victory of the much-admired Greeks on its head by postulating a survivor from Troy, Aeneas, who undergoes as journey akin to the Odyssey, even further afield. | | | It makes sense that, at the point of their ascendancy in the world, they would long for an epic history similar to the Homeric legends; the Iliad and the Odyssey, written some 500 years after the actual events they depict, tell of the heroism of the Greeks in their battle against Troy (Ilium). |

| | Although Virgil may have been officially inspired, his story certainly does not read like propaganda. | | | Aeneas's sacrifices may be so great--abandonment of his great love and death before he reaps the reward of Rome itself--that the Aeneid seems almost like a veiled repudiation of imperial Roman values. | | | Many symbolic correspondences between history and the events of the story can be made. |

| | Aeneas, the hero of the Aeneid, is plainly a personification of the most respected Roman virtues, and we are frequently reminded that Augustus is his descendent. | | | The implication of this association between Aeneas and Augustus to Virgil& contemporary readers is clear: They would infer that Augustus shares many of his ancestor Aeneas’s fine qualities; their full confidence in the emperor’s judgment would be justified; and they would be foolhardy and pretentious to criticize Augustus’s new government. | | | Individuals had to submerge their petty grievances for the good of all; a strong and centralized state was the only guarantee for peace and unity. |

| | The Aeneid ends with Aeneas killing Turnus, the king of Rutulians. However, the poem was not finished at the time of Vergil's death. Even so, the Aeneid is still considered some of the finest work in Latin literature. | | | In the Aeneid, the Trojans became winners and the Greeks losers. Even though Vergil's writings were before [Christ] the subjects he presented in the Aeneid representated Christian values and thus kept Vergil popular thoughtout the [Middle Ages] unlike Homer, who was slightly forgotten during this time. | | | The Aeneid helps us to see how the Trojans may have interperated the Trojan War and how that one man, Aeneas, may have helped found one of the greatest civilizations in the world. |
