Question
Original language term required. Some commentators read the Aeneid’s depiction of this Roman virtue in opposition to the mad self-destruction of furor. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this Roman virtue exemplified in the dutiful Aeneas. Storks accompanied the goddess of this virtue, whose temple was near a column commemorating a charitable daughter who breastfed her imprisoned parent.
ANSWER: pietas [or pius]
[10m] Two answers required. Virgil describes the love between these men as pius before the footrace during Anchises’s funeral games, when one trips Salius so that the other wins. These two men die after enemies spot the gleam of a stolen helmet.
ANSWER: Nisus AND Euryalus
[10e] In contrast, the pius Aeneas must leave this queen behind to fulfill his duty. This Carthaginian queen subsequently exhibits furor as she commits suicide upon a pyre.
