The paper investigates the structural relationship between Virgil’s Dido and Euripides’ Medea, and highlights the potential violence lurking behind Dido’s attitude towards Aeneas. The intertextual connection allows for a more nuanced reading of their relationship, which is then charted through later imitations and explored in its more general import for the interpretation of the poem.

The paper investigates the structural relationship between Virgil’s Dido and Euripides’ Medea, and highlights the potential violence lurking behind Dido’s attitude towards Aeneas. The intertextual connection allows for a more nuanced reading of their relationship, which is then charted through later imitations and explored in its more general import for the interpretation of the poem.File allegati a questo prodotto
