Question

10. Which of the following could be used as evidence to support Horate's observation?

Answer 1

Answer:

the plot of Virgil's classic work the Aeneid

Explanation:

"Aeneid" is one of Virgil's most famous works. This is a heroic epic consisting of twelve chants, written in a dactyl hexameter.

Overall, "Aeneid" consists of 9896 hexameters that continues the plot of Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey." Virgil wrote "Aeneid" for the full ten years, the last ten years of his life, from the age of 29 BC to the year 19 BC.

What Virgil wanted to show by "Aeneid" is the history and origin of the city of Rome. In this heroic epic through twelve chants, we read about the travels and wanderings of Aeneas and other Trojans who managed to escape from Troy.

The chants can be divided into two groups: the first six chants speak of Aeneas wandering and coming to Carthage and later to italy,  the other six chants speak of the struggle that Aeneas engages Latins.

Aeneas is the hero who managed to escape from the war-torn Troy, reach Carthage, and ultimately Italy, where the city of Rome is formed.
