The Aeneid

Presented By:

SummaryAeneas continues reminiscing, therefore he continues telling about his journey back from Troy. He sales to Thrace and he names a city Aeneade. There he sees a copse of bushes and figures he can take some to eat. He felt that it was a bad omen, but he pulled the branches anyway. Black blood drips down and stains the ground. He pulled more, which bled again. He hears a groan, and Polydorus is under the bushes. He tells his story of how he was killed by Agamemnon and buried there. Aeneas and his men leave Thrace and they pray to his father, Anchises, for help. Anchises tells them to go to Crete. They settle on an island called Pergamum. This island is not good for crops so they pray to the gods for help. Apollo sends messengers to Aeneas; they tell him this is not where they should live. They are instructed to go to Italy.

spot a different land. It is the home of the Harpies. Aeneas prays to the gods for food, and when they have their feast the Harpies attack. The ugly birds ruin their feast

They set sail for Italy again, and this time they land on an island called Actium. They give their proper sacrifices to Jupiter and then they start the Trojan games.

Next, they land at the island of Chaonia and stop at the city of Buthrotum. Here, he goes with Andromache to Hector’s empty tomb. She is crying and telling of all things Hector has done. She is very upset about Hector being dead and she wants to know where his corpse is at.

They make the proper sacrifices and pray to Phoebus to know the way to Italy. He tells him all of the obstacles and how to get through.

New people are added to the crew and they sail off. They were told to beware of Scylla and Charybdis.

On the way they fall asleep, and Aeneas wakes up and sees the stars and aurora.

They see horses on the island, which gives them a good sign. They arrive on the beach of the Cyclops island. They are very tired and go to sleep. The next morning a Greek approaches him. His name is Achaemenides. He was from Ithaca and was left in the cave of the Cyclops by Odysseus and his men. He tells how he was left and all that had happened to him. He tells Aeneas to either take him with him or kill him, do whatever to get him off the island. Aeneas needs to decide if he wants to kill the man or bring him with him.

The Cyclops that Odysseus stabbed in the eye came running down the hill so Aeneas flees. They jump on ship with Achaemenides and safely leave the bay.

They land on the unhappy island of Drepanum and Anchises tells Aeneas of his destinies. Anchises dies.

JournalIn the story, Aeneas and his crew land on the island of Cyclops, where they come across a Greek soldier named Achaemenides. If you were Achaemenides would have the same amount of courage as he did to talk to Aeneas and his Trojan Crew? And if you were Aeneas would you accept him on your crew or kill him?
