What reading level is The Death of Turnus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Exp. , " 366, on the anima of Tullia). The Laudatio is in C. I. L. , vi. 1527.
"5 The Death of Turnus Nettleship, however, had not noted the idea of devotio, for which see my notes on 49 and 234. It is this idea that keeps the passage pure Italian in feeling; it is this also that elevates the character of Turnus as we see it in this twelfth book. \Ye must remember that Drances had accused him of sacrificing the Latin people to his own military glory (xi. 371 ff. ); he claims, on the other hand,... that he is now sacrificing himself on behalf of that people by fighting with Aeneas alone. The ex- pression sancta anima finds its true explanation if we remember this. " I am a pure victim who will be welcome to the Manes; 1 ! am no coward; the breach of the treaty was not mine, and I am giving myself for the people. " The passage is important for the character of Turnus as now finally developed by Virgil, but 1 If I am asked what Virgil meant by Manes here, I should answer that in all probability he meant the spirits of Turnus' ancestors, regarded as the Inferi which most closely concerned him, in contrast to the Superi who turned their backs on him.
