Key Notes
evidence
The Dido episode starts with Aeneas' love in Carthage being interrupted by divine command: Mercury orders him back to the Roman mission.
model
Earlier in Aeneas's story, the gods repeatedly intervene whenever he follows his own emotions or ideas; at the end he supplies the divine will himself.
model
Jiang says Frankist success is measured by mission rather than money: the mission is to create a new world and end the age.

diagnosis
Jiang rejects the simple opportunist theory because Paul worked too hard and was too mission-driven to look like a lazy charlatan.
model
Octavian's decisive difference is not charisma or generalship but action: he acts from belief that he is Caesar's son and has a responsibility to restore the Republic.
model
The Roman people allow Octavian to amass power because they believe he shares Caesar's mission to save and restore the Republic.
