Abstract

Aeneas and Dido are hapless heroes at the behest of gods and victims of the madness of love: pius Aeneas obey to the iussa divum. Dido dies for love; from epic character she has turned into an elegiac and tragic character, but with the death has redeemed herself. The theme of silence accompanies these two characters, silence of the lambs, which saves the epic fable and its protagonists.
