Studies in Virgil카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Aeneid: Text, Intertexts, Afterlife
This presentation focuses on some overlooked moments in Virgil카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Aeneid and its reception. I briefly discuss the burial of Aeneas카지노 게임 컬렉션™ nurse, Caieta, in Aeneid 7, as well as a short poem by a 17th-century Jesuit missionary in New France, who laments the Aeneaslike suffering of his fellow missionaries (and neatly folds the sufferings of various Indigenous peoples into a pernicious colonial narrative). I then discuss Achates, a shadowy character who seems to always be at Aeneas카지노 게임 컬렉션™ side, and is invariably fidus, 카지노 게임 컬렉션śfaithful카지노 게임 컬렉션ť. Taking up the ancient etymology of 카지노 게임 컬렉션śAchates카지노 게임 컬렉션ť from the Greek akhos (카지노 게임 컬렉션śpain, grief카지노 게임 컬렉션ť), I argue that Aeneas has 카지노 게임 컬렉션śpain카지노 게임 컬렉션ť as his constant companion: like Homer카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Achilles, whose name was also etymologized via akhos, Aeneas brings pain with him wherever he goes, pain for himself and for others. And this pain is 카지노 게임 컬렉션śfaithful카지노 게임 컬렉션ť because all of the most painful moments in Aeneas카지노 게임 컬렉션™ story카지노 게임 컬렉션”Dido, Pallas, Turnus카지노 게임 컬렉션”involve broken bonds of fides.
