Summary
The chapter discusses Juno’s reconciliation with Jupiter at the end of Virgil’s Aeneid, arguing that the scene follows a model in Ennius’ Annales in which Juno and Jupiter reach an agreement over the foundation of Rome. It is argued that in both poems Juno’s reconciliation is partial and provisional and that she is not fully reconciled to Rome until the Second Punic War.
