*twirling my hair around my finger* hes just soooooo burdened by his sense of duty and the insurmountable weight of being a mere man written into the role of a myth
#yes this is about aeneas yes im reading more aeneid
#heres the thing about the aeneid that really gets me
#like we're told from the very beginning of the story that this is a tale of how rome comes to be
#a foundational story of homeric scale designed to inspire the people of rome
#but then we meet aeneas and he's literally Just Some Guy
#like he's a single father and he just lost his dad and he would really like to not be on this boat right now
#also this is literally the same thing for turnus except instead of the sense of duty it's the divine rage of juno
#like hes on the battlefield hes on his knees his Just Some Guy who didnt really ask for this
#and heres aeneas heres the hero heres Rome Itself
#but turnus looks into his eyes and for the shortest most desperate moment he sees himself
