Dido: The Tragedy Of A Woman

The story is based on the amorous tale of Dido and Aeneas as told by Virgil in the Fourth Book of the Aeneid. Dido is the Foundress and Queen of the Phoenician colony of Carthage, situated on the Mediterranean coast of Africa, where Providence has brought the far-wandering Aeneas, erstwhile Prince of Troy, from which he and a faithful band fled after its sack and destruction by the Greeks at the end of the Trojan War. The author has altered the story by introducing an unintended by-blow of the liaison as a tiny engine to propel the drama. Dido is torn between the selfish brutality of the Carthaginians and the enlightened civilization of the Trojans.
