Vergilii Aeneis

Post by marcofurio »

In alio foro idem posui nec responsum ullum obtinui. Gratias ago cuicumque qui me iuvet!

Liber IV, v 191
(fama canebat) 'Venisse Aenean Troiano sanguine cretum,
cui se pulchra viro dignetur iungere Dido!...'

Nam "ut" substituere posit in locum praenominis "cui"?:
'Venisse Aenean ut se pulchra viro dignetur iungere Dido'

Vel simpliciter 'Venisse Aenean et cum eo Dido concubuisset'

Quaestio mea surgit quia Orberg dixit (Cap XL,66): (fama) ... pariter vera ac falsa narrabat: 'Aenean Troia venisse, cum quo viro pulchra Dido concubuisset...'.

Salvete!

'Venisse Aenean et cum eo Didonem concubuisse' non 'Venisse Aenean ut se pulchra viro dignetur iungere Dido' quod non finalis sed dependens haec clausula, "cui se pulchra viro dignetur iungere Dido", nisi fallor (A&G §585b).
I'm writing in Latin hoping for correction, and not because I'm confident in how I express myself. Latinè scribo ut ab omnibus corrigar, non quod confidenter me exprimam.
