1. Fate and Destiny HUM 2051: Civilization I Fall 2014 Dr. Perdigao October 22-24, 2014

2. Revisions Hector appears in dream, like Achilles in underworld? (960) Hector’s story: “How changed / From that proud Hector who returned to Troy / Wearing Achilles’ armor” (960, L367-368). “Trojans we have been; Ilium has been; / The glory of the Teucrians is no more” (961). Cassandra’s story: “dragged / By her long hair out of Minerva’s shrine, / Lifting her brilliant eyes in vain to heaven” (963, L535). Priam’s story: “in the very midst of death / Would neither hold his peace nor spare his anger” (967, L692-693).

3. Revisions “And my dear father’s image came to mind / As our king, just his age, mortally wounded, / Gasped his life away before my eyes. / Creusa came to mind, too, left alone” (968, L731-734). Evoking pity “Never before so clear—in a pure light / Stepping before me, radiant through the night, / My loving mother came: immortal, tall, / And lovely as the lords of heaven know her. / Catching me by the hand, she held me back” (968, L 773-777). Controlling rage

4. Aeneas, Anchises, Ascanius (past, present, future) http://www.wga.hu

5. Creusa who? Creusa’s words: “If you are going out to die, take us / To face the whole thing with you.... / When you have gone, to whom is Iulus left? / Your father? Wife?—one called that long ago” (971, L881-886). Revision of Andromache’s words? Here, asking for new role but as forward-thinking as Lysistrata? [972-974: journey, loss of Creusa, as shade, patterns of 3s]: What happens to Creusa? What is Aeneas’ reaction? Does this parallel his treatment of Dido? (i.e., how does “duty-bound” Aeneas treat women? [and you thought Odysseus was bad!])
