ResumoIn the first book of the Aeneid, Aeneas admires the decorations that adorn the temple of Juno at Carthage, portraying the events of the Trojan War. As he is taken up in contemplation, Dido comes into the temple. What scene is Aeneas contemplating at the moment when the queen comes in? He is looking at the fury of Penthesilea, who is inflamed by warlike spirits as she leads her hosts of Amazons into battle. At the moment of Dido's entry into the temple, Aeneas is observing a woman, a queen, who is destined to die, killed by the sword of a man who loves her.1
