Document Summary
Turnus and the rutulians send to diomedes for help. Aeneas, instructed by tiberinus through a dream, goes to pallanteum to see evander. The day aeneas arrives to pallanteum is a significant one, the day of hercules celebration. -civilizing hero, creates order from chaos from fire-breathing monster. Hercules is a digression but also thematic- he brings order and calm, and also connects to. Evander sends his son pallas to formalize alliance. Pallas = patroclus of this poem, pallas dies in book 10. -no real relationship, but a strong symbolic connection. Etrus(cid:272)a(cid:374)s are also at (cid:449)ar (cid:449)ith rutulia(cid:374)s: they are har(cid:271)ouri(cid:374)g the etrus(cid:272)a(cid:374)s" for(cid:373)er tyra(cid:374)t. Watching the men ride forth = focus on those left behind. Intertextual link with the iliad (shield i(cid:374) iliad is pea(cid:272)eful a(cid:374)d digressi(cid:448)e, ae(cid:374)eas" shield is (cid:374)ot digressive) Aeneas, unaware, shoulders the destiny of all his descendants = piety (doing your duty to family and gods)
