| Sumario: | The study focuses on two fundamental issues of both stories: the dux status of the protagonist (Aeneas and Saint Brendan, respectively) andthe symbolic itinerary to the promised land. The analysis is situated in a plane in which the symbol matters more than the data from reality, evenwhen these data is essential for the full understanding of the journey. A deep coincidence is observed in the trajectory of both characters as a symbol of a complex spiritual itinerary that starts from ignorance or imperfect knowledge, progresses attending a ritual journey and passessuccessive tests that strengthen the pietas and the uirtus of the pilgrims. Through a virtual death, represented by the passage of the infernaltransworld, ordinary contingencies are overcome to perceive the authentic dimension of sub specie aeternitatis works. |
