The Aeneid 1
Pictures from my storyboard for Virgil’s The Aeneid as an AI-generated historical epic that will be visually spectacular, deeply cinematic in 70mm format; blending myth and history.
Trojan hero Aeneas with Queen Dido of Carthage.
King Iarbas, the powerful North African king and fierce warrior ruling over local territories; the son of Jupiter Ammon, a fusion of the Roman king of gods and a North African deity as the suitor of Queen Dido.
Queen Dido setting herself ablaze and cursing Aeneas for refusing to marry her.
This is pivotal moment in the epic, representing a final plea for vengeance against Aeneas.
"Nullus amor populis nec foedera sunto. / Exoriare aliquis nostris ex ossibus ultor...".
No love between our peoples, no pact between us... Rise up from my bones, avenger!
Aeneas in the underworld.
