Virgil's epic poem The Aeneid is about a great warrior, Aeneas, who escapes from the city of Troy just before it falls to the Greeks at the end of the Trojan War. After a long journey, Aeneas and his men arrive in Italy where they fight with the Latins. He marries the Latin princess Lavinia and founds the civilization that will eventually become Rome. In Ursula K. Le Guin's novel Lavinia, the main character is a Latin princess named Lavinia who marries the Trojan hero Aeneas and becomes involved in the politics and conflicts between the Trojans and the Latins in Italy. Eventually Lavinia comes to feel that she is at the mercy of the writer Virgil himself, and that her world is not real.
Which statement best explains how the modern story transforms the ideas of the original myth?

1- Le Guin tells the story of The Aeneid from Lavinia's perspective to make the events of the story more vivid, but also more impartial and realistic.

2- Le Guin portrays the relationship between the Trojans, led by Aeneas, and the Latins as full of conflict, violence, and destiny.

3- Le Guin gives more information about Aeneas's childhood and life before the Trojan War, and about his vision for the great city of Rome.

4- Le Guin focuses on a minor female character from The Aeneas to show how little free will women have in myths that have been created by men.
