Dionysiac values are vindicated by the illumination of the consequence of a mortal acting so impiously towards this god: a gruesome, violent death. Dionysus is more powerful than Pentheus, something the mortal does not reconcile, and he pays the price for this irreverence towards Dionysus. The people of Thebes do not understand than Dionysus is a god and does not abide by Earthly concepts of justice and fairness. The violent conclusion also serves as a means for Dionysus to exact revenge on the non-believers of Thebes in that if Pentheus hadn’t been excessive in his hatred for the Bacchae, and had joined Tiresias and Cadmus in their worship of Dionysus, he would have evaded a terrible amount of suffering.
Imagine one hero being immortalized as a renowned hero for committing unrighteous acts, whereas another more righteous hero is not praised as much as the other. In ancient literature such as the Aeneid and the Iliad, the heroes are displayed in a good light. In the Iliad, Achilles is shown to be an excellent warmongering hero. Whereas, in the Aeneid, Aeneas is shown as a great and devout man. Aeneas is a better depicted hero than Achilles in literature because he is shown to be more dutiful, loving, and caring for his people - unlike the ruthless Achilles.

It tells the story of the Trojan hero, Aeneas, and his efforts to establish order and defend his homeland. Throughout the 9,896 lines of the poem, he lives according to the Ancient Roman ideals of the Stoic. He is the paragon of a Trojan hero who places duty above pleasure, controls his passions and appetites through the power of reason, does not let the storms and stress of life disturb his self-possession and composure, and practices the virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance.
Aeneas, on the other hand is a remarkable leader. He may not have been a king, but he is aware of all the duties that he needs to do in order to bring his people to a good home. When there are conflicts between his wishes and his public duties, he sacrifices his personal gains at great costs in order to fulfill his responsibilities. He gives importance to the people around him, irrespective of whether or not they are his allies or his enemies. He knows his priorities well enough to take the right action.

Originally thought to be a depiction from a scene from Virgil’s Aeneid, when Aeneas sacrificed a pig and her 30 piglets to Juno, now entertains the possibility of depicting Numa Pompilius, the Roman king associated with Peace and the Gates of Janus. Either scene can still be attributed to Augustan propaganda because like the previous panel, the scene being shown is acting as either a nod to
