: I was very impressed with the fact that Virgil preceeded Dante in the tour of the underworld. It was there that Aeneas met Dido and was spurned by her in favor of Sychaeus.

You are completely right: Dido spurned the wretched Aeneas.
But have you an idea about the reason why Dido and Sychaeus met themselves there, since Dido seems a suicide and Sychaeus is an unburied?
That's very important, and a few Professors can reply to this question.
If you are interested about it, please visit my website... and let me know your qualified opinion, thanks.
Anyway, Dido in the Underworld is still alive (!), while Sychaeus is entrapped in the Venus' maze (the Mournful Fields).
