The Fall is the Sign of a New Rise

The true battle that Aeneas fights is not for Troy. The battle of Troy is only one of the small sections of his strives towards greatness and for the true war is for Rome. Aeneas can’t give rise to a new civilization if he still clings to Troy. It’s simply that he would give rise to Rome if he would lose Troy. This fact is even observed in nature, a new forest wouldn’t sprout from the old ones if not for natural fires that give rise to new sprouts to germinate and start a new forest. This goes the same as to Aeneas; he couldn’t start Rome if he still has love for his own country. The fall also served as a push to give Aeneas something to fight for, so the fall of Troy will not go in vain.
