The Overall Theme of Aeneid

In the Aeneid, there may be a lot of losses and defeat, but the Trojans still strove hard and fought for themselves. There are only 2 outcomes of a fight, either you win or you lose. But in winning, you do not always succeed; and in losing, you do not always fail. Failure is one of the reasons why people give up easily; success is also one of the reasons why people strive more in their goals. In this story, we see how Aeneas encountered all of the challenges with determination and courage. Aeneas failed a lot of times, but later on we see that those challenges and failures made Aeneas a better person. Aeneas and his mates had their victory and triumph after surpassing all of these defeat and terrible loss in their lives, including the Trojan war. The Aeneid supports the theme 'the ultimate victory is the outcome through terrible defeat and loss' by just describing and narrating how Aeneas reacted and failed at some time and began succeeding after he and his mates lose battles.
