"Family? Mother Land? or Both?"

           The Aeneid by Virgil and the Iliad by Homer have similarities.  Aeneas wife, Creusa and they're son Ascanius pleads Aeneas to not fight. But, he did not follow his wife.  The same as Andromache, the wife of Hector and their son Astyanax. He did not obey his wife.
          Both of them fought for their country. They do it for the safety and security of their country and family as well. They decide for the best of their family and country. This symbolizes their great love for their country and family. This also shows the true strength and dignity of a man and a fighter that everyone of us must fulfill.  They will do anything and willing to sacrifice even their life for the sake of their love ones.
