In this final lecture on Virgil's "Aeneid", we discuss (a) the vitriolic hate which Juno (through Allecto) spreads into the hearts of Queen Amata, Turnus, and the Latin people en masse; (b) we witness the original skirmish between farmers and Trojans and the opening of the Gates of War; and (c) we witness the epic, rage-filled, conclusion of Virgil's "Aeneid" and how all has come full circle since the beginning of Homer's "Iliad".
