"Victory is sweetest when you've known defeat" -Malcolm Forbes
Victory? Yes, all about winning over something. Aeneas has been into many defeats and terrible lost. Aeneas lose most of his fellow Trojan during the battle at the fall of troy. He saw King Priam and the royal family being slain in their own altar. He loses his wife Creusa in the commotion while fleeing from Troy, when he got back all he saw was Creusa's shade meaning she's already dead. His father Anchises died at Drepanum while they were escaping from the Cyclops. Aeneas's second love Dido, who commit suicide due to depression while the Trojans were leaving Carthage. The death of one of Aeneas's fleet lead captian Palinurus, as a sort of sacrifice for Neptune to protect the Trojan while sailing on the sea. While in escaping from the battle Nisus and Euryalus died. One of the deaths that arises Aeneas's feelings was the death of Pallas, a brave young cavalier whose life has a harsh end in the hands of Turnus. I have mention most of the deaths of the persons closest to Aeneas which I know intensely affects him.
Whats victory if you haven't been defeated yet? For me you'll never know the true feeling of winning if you doesn't lose in the game even just for once. But for Aeneas he doesn't just lose one but many, tons of sacrifices was done, bunch of trials were conquered, numerous number of battles were combated. He is really into so much struggles during the journey in finding Rome. But he never gave up, he never loses hope, he keeps on praying to the Gods and Goddesses for their supervision. After his last battle with Turnus finally the glory of victory is now at Aeneas's side. It was indeed a tough journey not just for Aeneas but for all of the Trojans as well. Leastwise they have victory at their side, they found Rome. One of the greatest victories they can ever have.
One will not gain triumph easily. It has to be gained through hardships because gaining it leisurely cannot be called victory. But achieving it with such effort is the most gratifying accomplishment. Triumph will never be yours unless you worked hard for it. Victory is a bittersweet part of the game. Its bitter because you know, you left someone behind whose madly hurt. Its sweet because at last all the hard works, obstacles, heart aches you've been through was already paid off. One must prevail victory if they worked hard for it, and if they are really deserving for it. If not one must perish defeat and should learn to aim victory on its bitter way towards its sweetest peak.
