Resumen
El Libro II de Eneida puede leerse como una ékphrasis, esto es, una descripción literaria de una obra de arte. En este estudio, nos proponemos analizar los recursos retóricos y poéticos con los cuales el narrador construye su descripción del desenlace de la guerra y la caída de su ciudad, a fin de efectuar una interpretación justificada y plausible sobre la función que el relato del héroe adquiere dentro del plan general de la obra. Si bien Eneas en su doble rol de narrador y aedo busca conmover al auditorio, la renovación del dolor pasado a través del relato obra en sobre sí mismo un efecto catártico, que resulta funcional a su misión de salvador del pueblo troyano y agente, a su vez, de su destino heroico.
