- Title
Aeneas' Landing in Libya, Jupiter's Prophecy and Scipio's Tears at Carthage.
- Authors
Coppola, Alessandra
- Abstract
The article offers a criticism of the poem "Aeneid" by Virgil. It explores Jupiter's prophecy on the future of Troy, the rise to fame of Rome and Scipio's destruction of Carthage. Also explored is the comparison between the rough sea and the assembly in turmoil in the scene of Aeneas' landing. It is concluded that Jupiter's prophecy comes at the right place at the right time, when Greece was defeated.
