Summary

In the article, the author compares from the substan-
tive point of view two excerpts from Vergil’s Aeneid, to
which no researcher of Vergil’s opus has yet been paid
attention. It is a passage from the ninth book of the Ae-
neid, in which Numanus Remulus strongly attacks the
Trojans and attributes to them some stereotypical fea-
tures (9,598-620), and a passage from the eleventh book,
in which the Etruscan fellow Tarhon encourages his
mates (11,732-740). The purpose of the paper was to illu-
minate the parallelism of these two excerpts and to in-
dicate that Vergil deliberately set up a stereotypical rep-
resentation of Trojans and Etruscans on parallel rails,
with the aim of attributing similar characteristics to the
two peoples. Stereotypical representations attributed
by Vergil to both peoples are an easy passage to love ad-
ventures, to otium and to dancing. On the contrary, both
peoples are also the bearers of positive qualities, name-
ly religious devotion (pietas) and military courage (forti-
tudo).
