Furor in the Aeneid
Can also come from affairs
Book 4 - while two weren't married, they had illegitimate sex
Happened with Aeneas just after his wife died
Aeneas and Dido have furor in their passion for each other
Aeneas makes up for it, and Dido kills herself in her furor
Aeneas stays on Dido's island for a quantative amount of time
Fire imagery in Turnus
"Maddened"
One of the furies comes to visit him in book 7 and invokes this hatred
Could be argued he's supposed to be like a 2nd achilles
Is the embodiment of furor and the other villain now that Dido's dead
Constantly used with alot of graphic imagery
Found then other emotions or anger run wild
Can be love
Passion
Anger
Sadness
The Gods and furor
Cause furor and flaw for their own gain
Book 4 - Juno and venus discuss Aeneas and Dido's "marriage"
"Flaming Juno" in book 1
Aren't portrayed as merciful to humans
Risk mainly comes from war
The anger and devastation it can bring
Civil war in Rome is irrational and hateful
Nisus and Euryalus
Take the riches from troy (would have been considered "kleos") and unroman
Nisus stabs Vulcan in the face and ends up killing himself on his spear
Seen as how war and furor cam affect the fate of Troy
Trojans in book 2
Ignore Cassandra's warning about the Trojan horse
Only listen to interpretation of it as an omen from the Gods and something to celebrate
Neoptolemus and Priam
Furor amongst the greeks and villainises them
Constantly seen as a threat to Aeneas' character
Tragic flaw of forgetting his destiny
Self-conflict
Forgetting his wife who scorns him for indulging in his furor and forgetting her
Furor and turnus
The embodiment of furor
"raise(s) the flag of war"
Violence in book 9 allows Virgil to portray disorder Turnus has
Seen as a flaw and as a hindrance to piety
A danger to a pious roman society
Comes from the word "furor" meaning "I rage"
