Abstract

This article discusses the failure of the schematization of Jupiter and Juno in the poem "Aeneid" to account most of the data. It attempts to correct the distorted or incomplete insights of Jupiter through each of his appearance in the poem. It looks at the speeches of Jupiter in illustrating his motivations and demonstrates their confirmation. It also discusses the effects of Jupiter's portrait of Rome and human happiness.
