※ 引述《Christine75 (惶恐)》之铭言:
: 嗯…念不完的Aeneid…
: 好的…我有两个问题…一直想不透…
: 麻烦大家好心帮帮我>"<
: 1 VENUS怎麽说也和TROJAN WAR的起因脱不了关系…
: 为什麽在她出面劝说AENEAS撤退时,又归罪於"GODS' WILL"
: 而且最重要的是…大家似乎都接受这个说法?!
据Aeneas自己的叙述,他有看到众神施力让Troy陷落。(2.771-780)
与其怪罪Venus,不如说是Virgil要给骁勇善战的Aeneas找离开Troy的合法理由。
: 2 JOVE派MERCURY给AENEAS当头棒喝,要他离开CATHAGE和DIDO
: 可是为啥DIDO後来给AENEAS的CURSE却又成真了呢?
We never know they are fulfilled exactly, because the Aeneid ends well before
these happened. (It is often speculated that Virgil planned Aeneid to be of
24 books.)
But in general, not everything prophesied should be carried out in epics. For
example, Iliad ends before the fall of Troy.
And we are to know Virgil knew what happened till his day. In other words
saying, he can instill the historical accounts with prophecies in the past,
which are an important feature of epics.
In this case, Virgil probably devised this famous episode from his reflections
over the long-term antagonism between Rome and African powers, such as
Cleopatra and Hannibal.
: 好的…这个也许跟考试不会有太大关系…
: 纯粹只是个人好奇…
: 谢谢各方大德orz
You are welcome.

请听史前第一位去死团团员的怒吼:
"Sight hateful, sight tormenting! thus these two
Imparadis't in one anothers arms
The happier Eden, shall enjoy thir fill
Of bliss on bliss, while I to Hell am thrust,
Where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,... - Paradise Lost, 4.505-510
