The Aeneid Modern Scholarship || with Complete Solutions.
Richard Jenkyns - Characterisation of Aeneas correct answers "It is the constant awareness of
duty and responsibility that makes Aeneas a new kind of epic hero"
Deryck Williams - Book 6 correct answers "The future destiny of Rome he is strengthened and
resolved to be successful in his mission"
Helga Nehrkorn - Book 6 correct answers "Aeneas descends into the underworld, learning to
understand the historic impact of his task"
Kristine Perkell - Book 2 and Augustan values correct answers "Aeneas failed Creusa; he has
much more care for his son and father"
Desmond M - Characterisation of Dido correct answers "Dido's change from a good to a bad
queen occurs because her activities as a lover explicitly compromise her status as a good king"
Richard Jenkyns - Characterisation of Creusa correct answers "Creusa's main concern is not to
heighten emotions; rather she tries to dampen it down"
Deryck Williams - Augustan Rome correct answers "The Aeneid reflects the governmental
policy of Augustus in moral, social and religious ideas, not because they were Augustus' ideas,
but because they were Virgil's ... both men saw things the same way.
Ian Du Quesney - Roman history and the epic correct answers "Reinforce our recognition of the
rightness of Aeneas' decision, the wrongness of Antony's"
Camps - Homeric influence correct answers "Invention finds much of its raw material in
reminiscence of the Homeric poems: the final product is always distinctively his own"
Camps - Fate and free will correct answers "His will is free and his decisions his own that
distinguishes his situation from other characters"
G.E Duckworth - Structure of the Aeneid correct answers "The books in the first half mirror in
subject those in the second half"
Denis Feeney - Plot correct answers "There is an added formal disappointment, in that this poem
has invited us to see it as being very like another a poem [The Iliad], only to rob us of the healing
which the other poem achieves by continuing, by refusing to stop here"
Denis Feeney - Death of Turnus correct answers "The explosive release with which the poem
ends has been massively prepared for, and gives the ending its own peculiar sense of adequacy"
Emma Buckely - Furor correct answers "In the event, it seems that Aeneas makes no active
choice at all: overcome by mad passions, he slaughters Turnus"
, Emma Buckely - Death of Turnus correct answers "For when Aeneas kills Turnus, Virgil
employs the verb, condere, which means not just 'to stab', but also 'to found'. When Aeneas puts
Turnus to the sword, he sets in motion the foundation of the Roman race"
Gerry Nusbaum - Structure of the Aeneid correct answers "Books 2-8 read almost like a
flashback over the whole ten years of the war"
Gerry Nusbaum - Book 2 correct answers "The end of Troy becomes, in Virgil, the beginning of
Rome; from the ashes of Troy will rise the Phoenix of Rome"
Emma Buckely - Narration of the Aeneid correct answers "Virgil narrates a personal struggle for
survival and success that we can empathise with and follow"
Harrison - Battle scenes correct answers "The shorter battle scenes are more like gladiator fights,
this makes them more appealing to a Roman audience"
Gransden - Book 4 correct answers "Likens book 4 to a tragedy, where the author is a chorus, not
only narrating, but commenting on the action"
Thomas - Book 8 correct answers "One function of Book 8 is to suspend the impending war that
will soon happen"
Cox - Homeric influence correct answers "Aeneas leaving Troy symbolises a departure from
Homeric values"
Bob Cowan - Homeric influence correct answers "There's not much question that the Aeneid is a
sequel to the Iliad"
Ian Du Quesnay - Homeric influence correct answers "It was the poet's intentions, according to
Roman scholar Servius, to imitate Homer and to praise Augustus through his ancestors"
Simon Swain - Book 6 correct answers "Aeneid 6 is, perhaps more than any other book of the
poem, permeated by Homeric derivation and allusion"
Simon Swain - Homeric influence correct answers "It is a compliment to and a complement of
the work of the maestro, an attempt to emulate, not just to imitate"
Richard Rutherford - Homeric influence correct answers "He was not only imitating but seeking
to rival both the Homeric epics - perhaps he even dreamed of surpassing them, of conquering the
genre for Latin poetry"
Richard Jenkyns - Aeneas' actions correct answers "The contradictions in Aeneas' actions make
him difficult to like, but certainly make him human"
