Whomever- The Aeneid by Virgil has undergone some critizism: 1. Propoganda 2. Imitates Homer 3. Aeneas is unhoroic It is critizim #3 that I am interested in. I'm curious as to what the group thinks. Does his tender heart, which often times leads to tears, make him more or less of a hero? If he is as hero, why? If he isn't, Why? Just to get you thinking, for example, when Aeneas sees the frieze of the Trojan war and weeps, in modern times is Aeneas still a hero? That is just one example I could think of off the top of my head. My emial address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] THANKS
