The topic of fate comes up many times in the Aeneid. The characters seem to rely heavily on trusting fate and to just let it do it’s thing.

In the beginning of book one Juno is upset because Aeneas and others are on their way to found a new city which was their fate. Juno is upset because she is going to have to give up on trying to destroy the trojans. She says to Aeneas “ Give up what I began? Am I defeated? Am I impotent to keep the king of Teucrians from Italy? The fates forbid me, am I to suppose?” I find this quote interesting because it seemd that even though Juno wants to destroy the trojans she can’t because their going to Italy to found a new city. That just shows the respect the characters have for fate and letting thing happen
