Queen Dido listens to the pleas of the refugees. After listening to their requests and wishes, he accepts them with open arms. Aeneas finally shows himself and accepts his kindness and allows the Trojan people to rejoice in their new found home together with the people of Carthage. The refugees of the Troy saga lower their guard and begin to establish their new home with the people of Carthage. Aeneas and Dido, with the help of the god Cupid, begin a relationship. Reported to Aeneas, who believes he has achieved his destiny, he is visited by Mercury while he takes care of his army. The god Jupiter summoned Mercury to swoop down to remind Aeneas of his perceived fate. Mercury asked him why he wasted time in Libya and what deceived him because he should fight for the kingdom of Italy, the land of Rome (Puchner, Martin). Aeneas did not question Mercury's words nor did he question his role in that fate. He took a step back just to figure out how to proceed and when to leave. He didn't ask himself why he had to leave such a beautiful life or think about it
