Aeneas confronts Juno's wrath from "summary" of Aeneid by Virgil,Frederick Ahl
Aeneas stood before Juno, her eyes ablaze with anger. The goddess had long harbored resentment towards the Trojans, blaming them for the fall of her beloved city, Carthage. She had vowed to thwart Aeneas at every turn, determined to prevent him from fulfilling his destiny. Despite Juno's relentless opposition, Aeneas remained resolute. He knew that he was fated to found a new kingdom in Italy, and nothing, not even the wrath of a vengeful goddess, could deter him from his path. With steadfast determination, he faced Juno's fury head-on, refusing to be cowed by her power. Juno, seeing Aeneas's unwavering resolve, redoubled her efforts to hinder him. She sent storms and obstacles in his way, hoping to drive him off course. But Aeneas, guided by the will of the gods, pressed on, weathering each trial with courage and fortitude. As Aeneas confronted Juno's wrath, he proved himself to be a true hero, tested and tempered by adversity. His struggles only served to strengthen his resolve, fueling his determination to overcome every obstacle in his path. And though Juno's anger raged on, Aeneas stood firm, a beacon of hope and resilience in the face of divine opposition.
