In what ways do these two women cross boundaries into the taboo and culturally unacceptable, and what are the consequences of their actions? In your essay, be sure to have: --Two body paragraphs discussing Iphis. What is her particular situation regarding her desire, and how is it culturally unacceptable? How does she come to regard herself in light of her feelings? What is the nature of her transformation, and how would you evaluate her state at the end of Book IX? --One or two body paragraphs regarding Myrrha. What is it she desires, and why is it taboo? How does she go about achieving it, and what are the consequences? How does she come to view herself?

Discuss this scene in detail. How would you characterize the meeting? (one body paragraph) --Note**: You can extend one section to two paragraphs if you wish, or you may add a body paragraph about something else you think relevant to the topic. --Offer up a final assessment of Aeneas in the conclusion. In the end, what does the relationship with Dido reveal about the kind of hero Virgil was trying to create?
