Juno's Aeneid: A Battle for Heroic Identity Farrell Joseph
A major new interpretation of Vergil's epic poem as a struggle between two incompatible versions of the Homeric heroThis compelling book offers an entirely new way of understanding the Aeneid. Joseph Farrell challenges this view, revealing how the Aeneid stages an epic contest to determine which kind of story it will tell--and what kind of hero Aeneas will be.Farrell shows how this contest is provoked by the transgressive goddess Juno, who challenges Vergil for the soul of his hero and poem. Many scholars regard Vergil's poem as an attempt to combine Homer's Iliad and Odyssey into a single epic.
Farrell discusses how ancient critics considered the flexible Odysseus the model of a good leader but censured the hero Her goal is to transform the poem into an Iliad of continuous Trojan persecution instead of an Odyssey of successful homecoming.
