Assignment:
In 700 to 800 words, analyze how Vergil characterized Aeneas in Aeneid Books 1-
Which criteria of a hero does Aeneas fulfill? How does he compare to the other (i.e., Greek) heroes whom we have met? (ODYSSEUS & THE ODYSSEY & ACHIELLES WILL BE YOUR FOCUS FOR SCHOLARLY SOURCES TO COMPARE WITH AENEAS) In what ways does Aeneas seem like a distinctly Roman figure?
To show the development of your knowledge and analytical abilities, you need to support your analysis with 2-3 references from other mythological works which you have read in this course. [If you wish to look for additional sources, they must be scholarly sources, not a random person tweeting from their basement.
