Summary: | In the bloodshed made by Aeneas after the death of Pallas (Aen. 10,510-605), Virgil imitates in particular the slaying of Lycaon by Achilles in Il. 21, but adds to it references to other episodes of the Iliad. The comparison with these scenes results in recognising that the image of Aeneas is crueler and fiercer than Achilles' one in the Homeric model. The reversal of Aeneas' usual pietas reveals the danger of the furor inherent in the human soul. |
