Tommy two gun,
This is where she is forced to fall in love with Aeneas by Venus (his mother), he leaves her and she commits suicide. So this does take place in Africa in Carthage.
"just too rhetorical to make poem" True it is (rhetorical), still I think the irony created by Love acting very unloving raises it above the purely rhetorical, and poetry is not necessarily restricted from the use. Now if you mean didactic I might be more sympathetic to your argument. If you mean it as oratorical, I think that is a fairly large aspect of both Greek and Roman poetry. Maybe you could be more specific as to what you mean by "rhetorical"
Speaking of rhetoric,
Nice stuff.Really nice....but
everyone knows that when "but" is used in this way, it means to regard all the preceding as BS
Thanks for the comments, I will consider, but...
...but no, really thanks, I know I asked.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
