Summary: Venus is talking to Aeneas while disguised as a huntress in very revealing clothes. She brushes it off as just being a custom (but we know better) before telling the tale of Dido's misfortune. Basically, she gets married to an awesome rich dude she loves but her brother is a hater and kills him.

Aeneid, Book 4: Lines 347-364
Summary: Aeneas is actually being pretty reasonable about the fact that they both have kingdoms they should be ruling. Even his dead pops is haunting him at night telling him to get off his butt and go to Italy already. Even after Aeneas points out how there are flippin' gods riding him on the subject Dido still doesn't buy it.
Aeneid, Book 4: Lines 325-344
Summary: Dido is all angsty becase Aeneas is ditching her to go fulfill his destiny. Oh, she also wants him to sleep with her (again maybe?) 'cause she wants a child that looks like him (I wonder what that means). On top of that, she thinks they're married. Aeneas is pretty much like "Well, you know, Jupiter and fate told me to go do this so I have to. What? Do you think even if fate wasn't making me do this I would still stick around? Nah, bro, I gotta' go rebuild my city. Oh, by the way, I'm destined to get a hotter wife, but thanks for being my one night stand."
Aeneid, Book 4: Lines 304-324
*Note: I'm trying to keep these as close to the Latin as possible. Some grammar won't make sense or it just might be the fact that I suck. Posting these really for myself but whatever, you can use them.
Summary: Dido is still complaining.
