Abstract

Love and tragedy dominate book four of Virgil's most powerful work, building on the violent emotions invoked b the storms, battles, warring gods, and monster-plagued wanderings of the epic's opening. Destined to be the founder of Roman culture, Aeneas, nudged by the gods, decides to leave his beloved Dido, Queen of Carthage, causing her suicide in pursuit of his historical destiny. A dark plot, in which erotic passion culminates in sex, and sex leads to tragedy and death in the human realm, unfolds within the larger horizon of a supernatural sphere, dominated by power-conscious divinities. Dido is Aeneas' most significant other, and in their encounter Virgil explores timeless themes of love and loyalty, fare and fortune, the justice of the gods, imperialambition and its victims, and ethnic differences. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, study questions, a commentary, and interpretative essays. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Ingo Gildenhard's incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both A2 and undergraduate level, it extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Virgil's poetry and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought.

Abstract

Durant toute l’Antiquité, la question de l’origine des cités et des peuples n’a cessé d’être posée. Champ d’enquête privilégié pour les érudits anciens, elle a souvent joué aussi un rôle important dans la vie des communautés humaines, car pour une cité, le nom de son fondateur, les circonstances de sa fondation, ses relations de parenté avec d’autres cités étaient des éléments essentiels de l’image qu’elle voulait donner d’elle-même et qu’en avaient les autres. En outre, cette thématique des origines a toujours été porteuse d’implications politiques, diplomatiques ou religieuses, si bien qu’un grand nombre de légendes de fondation, loin d’être transmises sous une forme immuable, ont fait l’objet de remaniements, réinterprétations et réutilisations variables selon les époques et les circonstances. Tels sont les différents aspects que les communications rassemblées dans le présent recueil tentent d’aborder, dans le cadre d’une réflexion associant historiens, archéologues, philologues et spécialistes de littérature antique. For all of antiquity, the question of the origin of cities and peoples has been posed continuously. A foremost field of research for ancient scholars, it often played an important role in the life of human communities, as, for a city, its founder’s name, the circumstances of its foundation, its kinship with other cities were essential éléments of the image it wanted to project of itself and of the perception others had of it. Besides, this theme of the origins has always born political, diplomatic, religious implications, so that a large number of foundation legends, far from being passed on in an immutable and universally accepted form, were, to the contrary, diversely altered, interpreted and utilised by those who conveyed them. Such are the various aspects the communications gathered in this collection attempt to tackle, in the framework of a reflection that brought together historians, archaeologists, philologists, and ancient literature…
