Somebody help me, I have got some crazy translation for lines 778b -779:

"For neither Rigut was the Ruler Of Olympus as high Jupiter allows you to carry Creusa...."

From what I've managed to decode, it is something like:

"For neither is it right to, nor the Ruler of Olympus on high allows you to, carry Creusa..."

Is this right? I can't believe this translation, honestly I was searching for a god named "Rigut" or something. Thanks

Also, dreading the language features we have to identify tomorrow. I think it could be a long night!

I've got 'nor is it right that you carry Creusa away as a companion from here, nor does that ruler of high Olympus allow it'

There's certainly nothing about Caesar in our syllabus this year, at least not for the Aeneid.

Its talking about Augustus Caesar - you might be doing a different section of the Aeneid.

What have we got for lines 781-2?

Finish up to 654. Read around 3 times, lines 671-716. Learn 786-795 (as this hasn't come up) and read rest of it twice (as these bits have already come up).

I think it's just section A. There's a bit about Caesar from the Aeneid and one called 'Caesar Crosses the Rubicon.'

Is it just me that has an annoying tendency to avoid stating the obvious? Especially on the 10 mark questions

everyone states the obvious, because what's obvious 2 u is not obvious to others
just remember the Aeneid
A-Alliteration (there's always some of that)
E-Enjambment
N-Nouns, look at the case
E-Emphatic Positioning -practically every word
I-Iambic pentameter-what the Aeneid is written in (spondys and dactyls)
D-Dramatism, remember it is a poem and mean to be dramatic.

The obvious is usually what is correct ... and yet our answers vary so much from each others'.

By no means is the Aeneid written in iambic pentameter. It's in dactylic hexameter. And unless you're genuinely familiar with scansion, I wouldn't recommend talking about it at GCSE.

Those smaller questions were very sneaky though. I'm not sure if I put enough for the 8 marker

The first two were a bit weird I thought:

Did you put late evening and rest.

Then the carry on about the prayer Anchises made! But the 10 marker was perfect!
