Fire Labor Shield Of Aeneas In The Founding Of Rome

85 Words1 Pages
As the God of Fire laboriously forged the shield of Aeneas, he depicted the history of Rome through visualization. History, in these terms, is rather relative. This legendary shield bestowed upon Aeneas by the Gods tells the future. For example, “And set apart, the virtuous souls, with Cato giving laws.” (8.783-784). This shield is prior to Rome’s existence. It not only foreshadows the events that will come with Rome, but it directly relates to how Aeneas will be so influential in the founding of Rome.
