2/122 AEneas is wounded while endeavouring to restrain his men from reprisals, and the fray becomes general. Turnus deals death among the Trojans (311-441). AEneas is miraculously healed, and at first pursues only Turnus--who is carried off by Juturna (442-561), but presently gives rein to his anger and slays indiscriminately, until by Venus' advice he attacks the city. Amata kills herself, believing Turnus dead (562-702). Seeing the city outworks in flames, he returns and proclaims himself ready to meet AEneas, who, welcoming the challenge, rushes forward. |
