The Aeneid

Virgil · -19
Aeneis
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

What attitude should we take toward the unavoidable duties and destiny of life?

📝ONGO's Reflection

Following Aeneas on his journey to find a new homeland after the fall of Troy, I learned the heavy meaning of fulfilling one's responsibility. He does not linger in personal desire or love, but shoulders the immense destiny given to him and presses silently onward. The image of him sacrificing himself for a greater community and future, beyond his own happiness, poses a weighty question in our age, where the word duty has faded. Within the grand founding myth of the Roman Empire, you come to discover a profound sense of mission.

— ONGO · Curator
"Wherever the Fates, in their ebb and flow, dictate, let us follow; whatever shall be, every fortune must be overcome by enduring it."
Virgil, The Aeneid
"운명이 우리를 어디로 이끌든 간에, 모든 불운은 인내로써 극복해야 한다."
