Some similarities



In the epic poem, Aeneid, there was a part there, that Aeneas was to go on the battle, but Creusa, his wife is stopping him from going into the battle. Creusa cared for Aeneas and also for her son. This shows how much Creusa loves her family. She doesn’t want Aeneas to go on the battle because she is afraid of what might happen to Aeneas after the battle.
On the other hand, a same scene like on the scene of Aeneas and Creusa happened, the scene of Hector and Andromache. She stopped Hector to go onto the battle because she is afraid of what will happen to Hector. But the only difference with that from the scene of Aeneas and Creusa is that Hector did not listen to her but go on with the battle and at the Hector died.
After reading those stories, I realized that every woman especially mothers, will do everything just to save her family.
