Abstract
The similes in Aeneid 10 support the main narrative by establishing a secondary plotline of their own, either through the imagery itself or through the similes' intertextual models. The first part of this chapter discusses the three scenes in Aeneid 10 featuring Turnus; it focuses on the interaction of focalization and intertextuality in the similes, and on the way in which the intertextual quality of these similes points up Turnus' misguided behaviour. The second part investigates how the storm imagery shared by many similes in the book contribute to establishing a sub-narrative that supports and mirrors the plotline of the main narrative of Aeneid 10. This chapter supplements the discussion by Harrison in the same volume.
