“If the glories of such deeds do not inspire you – – consider Ascanius, coming of age, and the hope of heir Iulus, to whom is due the rule of Italy and the land of Rome.” (Mercury arrives to confront Aeneas, now lingering in Carthage, and foreshadows the family destiny. The god speaks two different names for Aeneas’s only son: Ascanius, and Iulus, whom Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus claimed as a royal ancestor.
