| ENT_ROM_JUPITER | SRC_VIRGIL_AENEID | direct attestation | Jupiter guarantees Rome's destiny to Juno (1.257-296: the "fates' will" speech); sends Mercury to Carthage (4.222-278); adjudicates the final battle (12.791-842). The Aeneid's Jupiter is the normative image of Jupiter as universal sovereign for the Roman literary tradition. |
