Alight, I may struggle with liking Achilles, but I gotta say he really does show us how it's all done in this book. Through his little (HUGE) killing sprees, we can appreciate why he truly is the best of the greek soldiers.
Also, Aeneas' destiny is lines 302-305 in book 20. This is CRAZY important because in the early Roman Empire, the winter Virgil ends up taking these lines and writing his own epic book to explain that Aeneas went on to found Rome. This is written in his epic poem titled "The Aeneid", and is basically used as a tool to rival greek history in saying that the Romans also have links to the great Battle of Troy. I'll probably be doing a series on "The Aeneid" in the future ... at some point ... maybe after I do "The Odyssey". Let me know in the comments below if you want a series like this about "The Aeneid" sooner than 2023!
