Resumo(s)
In this article, I examine the nature of Dido’s magic ritual in Aeneid 4, reading it as a
magic ritual aimed at inducing forgetfulness. I argue that in burning his belongings,
Dido intends to forget Aeneas and not to destroy him; for this purpose, I study this
episode in the light of non-literary sources and of the poetic tradition concerning love
magic and the obliteration of memory.
