Much like his duty to protect Troy‚ Aeneas feels obligated to return to his city as ordered by the gods while in Carthage. Many suitable men have come forward‚ pleading for Queen Dido’s hand in marriage‚ however‚ Aeneas is the first man she has been able to feel any affection towards since the death of her husband. The goddesses Venus and Juno coerced the couple into a cave to informally wed them. From Dido’s point of view‚ the ceremony was as official as any other while Aeneas felt that it was

Lust and the gods are two factors that take Aeneas and control him‚ either diverting him or carrying him in the right direction after some
