Hello! I'm sorry about posting this late! This start of the semester has been a bit rocky for me...
Some points that I've gathered from The Aeneid is that there is a difference between the Greek gods and the Roman gods. They carry similar traits and roles like in the Iliad, yet there is a difference. Virgil gives a more mature feel to the gods, contrary from Homer. They seem to be more in control of the matters at hand.
However, they seem to be a little too much in control of Aeneas' fate. Because of this, Aeneas seems to be going a long with the flow, rather than making his own decisions.
