Aeneas Aeneid Bough Finds Mistletoe Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
Aeneas and the Golden Bough: A Timeless Tale of Heroism and Divine Favor from Ancient Mythology In this image from the annals of classical history, Aeneas, the legendary hero of Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid, is depicted in the midst of an essential moment from his epic journey. The year is 392 BC, and Aeneas, having fled Troy after its destruction, is on a quest to found a new city, which will eventually become Rome. As he stands before the sacred grove of the goddess Diana at Lake Nemi, Aeneas encounters an otherworldly sight: a golden bough hanging from a tree. According to the prophecy, only the one who can pluck the golden bough from the tree will be granted the favor of the gods and the right to rule. With determination and courage, Aeneas reaches out and grasps the bough, securing his divine approval and continuing his journey to fulfill his destiny. The golden bough, a symbol of the power and favor of the gods, is often depicted as a mistletoe branch. This plant, with its parasitic growth and ability to thrive in harsh conditions, has long been associated with the supernatural and the divine. In this image, the golden bough serves as a reminder of the power of determination, courage, and the favor of the gods in the face of adversity. This evocative print, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of ancient mythology and the enduring power of the stories that have shaped our collective cultural consciousness. With its intricate details and masterful composition, this image invites us to explore the depths of human history and the timeless tales that continue to inspire and captivate us.
