Question

Haec dum Dardanio Aeneae miranda videntur,
dum stupet, obtutuque haeret defixus in uno,
regina ad templum, forma pulcherrima Dido,
incessit magna iuvenum stipante caterva.

Which literary device is present in lines 1-2 of the passage?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

In lines 1-2 of the passage, the same concept is repeated over and over. The phrases "miranda videntur," "stupet," "obtutuque," "haeret,"and "defixus in uno"are all slightly different ways of saying to stare or to gaze.This is an example of anaphora_._

(Passage adapted from the Aeneid by Vergil, 1.494-497)
