The Relationship Between Dido and Aeneas It is clear that Virgil’s work‚ The Aeneid‚ is one of the most influential epics written in the history of western literature. Perhaps one of the most important factors within this work is the relationship between Aeneas and Dido‚ and the way that the gods control them. Virgil treats love as an outside force that affects humans‚ rather than an internal function of free will

He speaks formally and tersely to Dido‚ offers her little comfort‚ and denies that an
