The lines immediately following this speech indicate, however, that Aeneas must struggle to keep up his sanguine appearance in the face of doubt. Above all, Aeneas insists that god ( deus) or fate ( fatum) will show the way, believing that the Trojans' "manifest destiny" is to rebuild their lives on the shores of Italy. The language, reminiscent of Odysseus' exhortations to his similarly exhausted men in the Odyssey, is stark and beautiful at the same time Aeneas catalogues the various misadventures that the men have already endured and survived, and then holds out the promise of a new homeland, a shining city on the hill. Aeneas takes this opportunity to give one of his rather rare speeches to his men-you might wish to compare this speech with Aeneas' despairing first utterance during the tempest, his first words of the epic. Bloodied, battered, bruised and hungry, Aeneas' sailors seem ready to give up the chase for the promised New Troy. After the terrible storm in Book I, Aeneas and the remnants of his crew wash up on the shores of Carthage. Ostendunt illic fas regna resurgere Troiae.ĭurate, et vosmet rebus servate secundis."
