What are the similarities and differences between Achilles from Homer's Iliad and Aeneas from Virgil's The Aeneid Books?
The two heroes could hardly be more different.Achilles is obsessed with his personal glory. In the Iliad he quarrels with Agamemnon, and withdraws his army from the Greek force. Achilles doesn't care if the war is lost - his own needs and desires come before everything else.Aeneas spends the entire poem submitting to the will of the gods. (This is why Aeneas is always called pius 'pious'). Aeneas wants to stay with Dido and live happily ever after, but the will of the gods is that Rome needs to be founded. Aeneas has a job to do.During the fall of Troy Aeneas has the chance to kill Helen, and wants to. But he is warned not to by his mother Aphrodite (Venus). So Aeneas does what fate wants, not what he wants.

What strengths make Aeneas a leader?
The adjective that Vergil keeps applying to Aeneas is "pius." "Pius" is almost the same as our modern word "pious," but it means more than that. Virgil seems to be saying that Aeneas is so successful because he follows the will of the gods without question. (This is particularly true when Aeneas abandons the woman he loves - Dido - because he had a dream that reminded him that founding Rome is his destiny.) Aeneas always does exactly what the gods tell him to, no matter how wrong it may seem to him (or to us).
