Book VI Aeneas' Journey to the Underworld "The
World Below"

• Book VI is most important in the whole of the
  Aeneid. It is the keystone of structure both
  literary and philosophical. Book VI holds past
  and future together in Aeneid. It depicts the
  transformation of Aeneas from inconstant
  earthbound boy to history-making man. The last
  of the Trojans is reborn as the first of the
  Romans. It is based on Book XI of Odyssey where
  Odysseus journeys to underworld. It is also the
  most influential book in any classical work of
  literature. Its evocation of the underworld
  determines all later renditions. Most important
  it gives Dante the model for his Divine Comedy.
  Trojans arrive in Italy (1) Aeneas goes to
  Sanctuary of Apollo (15) Aeneas consults the
  Sibyl (prophetress) Deiphobe Aeneas addresses
  Apollo (92) Sibyl prophesy "wars ahead" (132)

Book VII The Trojans Settle in Latium "Juno
Served by a Fury"

• This Book begins the second half of the Aeneid.
  Virgil signals this invoking the Muses again
  line 47 as did in beginning.....so this another
  beginning. First six books modeled on the
  Odyssey second half on Iliad. Now that Trojans
  arrive in Italy Virgil (an Italian who loves his
  country-see Georgics/Eclogues) can now use all
  his skill to describe the beautiful Italian
  countryside. Latium where they arrive is of
  course the area of Italy (now called Lazio) where
  the Romans will build the beginnings of Rome,
  thus King Latinus is early ancestor of the later
  Romans. "Be with me, Muse of all Desire, Erato,
  while I call up the kings, the early times,..."
  (40) King Latinus (60) Trojans pause on
  riverside, share meal (139) Aeneas remembers
  father's prophecy (155) "Here is our home."
  (160) Aeneas sends ambassadors to Latium (203)
  Trojan Ilioneus speaks at Latin court (282)
  Juno intervenes to provoke war (388) Juno's
  agent (Allecto) inflames Queen Amata against
  Trojans (467)
• Juno's agent inflames Turnus against the Trojans
  (580) Ascanius hunting kills tame stag of
  Tyrrhus (Latinus' herdsman) (654) Provoke war
  between Latins and Trojans The Gates of the
  Temple of Janus (827) Juno blasts open the Gates
  (for war) (851) Vigil enumerates Latin allies
  gathering for war (880)

122
Book VIII Alliance with Evander "Arcadian
Allies"

• Aeneas, worried about gathering clouds of war
  Aeneas lays down and receives godly advice seek
  out King Evander Evander King of Pallentum,
  Greeks from Arcadia (70) Aeneas meets Evander
  (138) Evander welcomes Aeneas (208) Venus
  worried about Aeneas goes to Vulcan (Hephaestus)
  Venus asks Vulcan make armor for Aeneas (491)
  THE ARMOR OF AENEAS History of Italy (557)
  Latin 425compare Armor of Aeneas to Shield of
  Achilles, Iliad, Book XVIII compare scenes and
  subjects presented.

123
Book IX The Latins Attack the Trojans "A Night
Sortie, A Day Assault"

• While Aeneas away the Latins led by Turnus
  attack the Trojans. Turnus dominates the book.
  Turnus resembles the heroes of the Iliad. The
  whole book is a book of battle resembling the
  Iliad. Nisus-Euryalus resembles night patrol of
  Odysseus and Diomedes in Book X of Iliad. Books
  IX, X, XI are almost exclusively battle books and
  since Virgil never experienced battle (as one can
  assume Homer did) he fails to endow these three
  books with all the excitement of some of the
  other books. He includes them since he is openly
  choosing the Homeric work as his model and
  therefore must include battles, but one can see
  that his pacifist heart isnt in them. They lack
  the spark and originality of Book IV or Book VI.
  ( He obviously DID know something about love, sex
  and death.)

124
Book X The Battle Continues "The Death of
Princes"

• Book X opens with a Council of the Gods (1)
  Jupiter (Zeus) orders other Gods to stay out of
  the battle (141) The Trojans besieged Aeneas
  arrives at mouth of Tiber, Trojans cheered (360)
  Aeneas joins the fight Valiant fight of Pallas,
  son of Evander the Arcadian Pallas killed by
  Turnus (671) Aeneas battles and kills the old
  Italian leader Mezentius (1097)

125

  palace of Evander The old king mourns death of
  his son Aeneas meets with Latin ambassadors
  (137) Aeneas proposes one to one combat himself
  with Turnus Dissension in Laurentum among Latin
  nobles Trojans advancing (622) exploits of
  brave Camilla (726) death of Camilla (1110)
