It’s like the Iliad but worse. 200 pages in, after 10 books/chapters, Aeneas has managed to get lost four different times, involve himself in two separate trysts, get his ships burned down for loitering, get most of his men killed in battles, and he is STILL no closer to finding Rome. And I’m supposed to root for this guy?

I’m being told that Aeneas is a hero but I’m not seeing a lot of “hero-ing” happening
