tandem his Aenean compellat vocibus ultro:
“dissimulare etiam sperasti, perfide, tantum 305
posse nefas tacitusque mea decedere terra?
nec te noster amor nec te data dextera quondam
nec moritura tenet crudeli funere Dido?
quin etiam hiberno moliri sidere classem
et mediis properas Aquilonibus ire per altum, 310
crudelis? quid, si non arua aliena domosque
ignotas peteres, et Troia antiqua maneret,
Troia per undosum peteretur classibus aequor?
mene fugis? “
1. Create an alternate ending to Book 4, in which Aeneas, warned by Mercury and confronted by Dido (see above), does NOT leave Carthage. What makes this new version of events attractive or unattractive? Why?
… ille, oculis postquam saevi monimenta doloris 945
exuviasque hausit, furiis accensus et ira
terribilis: “tune hinc spoliis indute meorum
eripiare mihi? Pallas te hoc vulnere, Pallas
immolat et poenam scelerato ex sanguine sumit.”
hoc dicens ferrum adverso sub pectore condit 950
fervidus; ast illi soluuntur frigore membra
vitaque cum gemitu fugit indignata sub umbras.
2. Create an alternate ending to Book 12, in which Aeneas, having seen Pallas’ belt (see above), does NOT kill Turnus. What makes this new version of events attractive or unattractive? Why?
