Abstract

The lament of Juturna at the end of the Aeneid (12,869–886) shows the features of a real funeral complaint, both in form and in the concepts it expresses. Virgil, however, is masterfully able to adapt the τόποι of this genre to the anomalous situation of his character, a goddess forced to regret her own immortality.
