Hunting and Horsemanship: The Significance of Virgil’s Rhesus
Fratantuono Lee
The Thracian hero Rhesus is depicted as one of the figures from the history of the Trojan War in the pictures in the temple of Juno erected by Dido in Carthage in Virgil’s Aeneid. Close consideration of the Rhesus episode and its place in the temple artwork reveals a carefully composed ecphrasis whereby incidents from the forthcoming war in Latium are foreshadowed by the pictures. Lastly, the Rhesus vignette proves to be of importance in appreciating the significance of certain details from the back story of the Trojan hero Nisus
