my question concerns the 3 wives of Aeneas in the Aeneid. Creusa, as well as Lavinia, remain basically passive in the poem: we really don't learn anything about either of them. On the other hand, Dido is a powerful woman, with extreme influence on Aeneas. My question is, what qualities do you think Aeneas wanted or needed in a woman? Do you think Dido was a more "appropriate" wife for him than Creusa or Lavinia? Thanks for your time - Marie
