Neptune Fury

Neptune isn't a god to anger and he doesn't like it when you mess with his stuff. Neptune got angry quickly over Juno's interference with his waves (Chapter 1 lines 96-184).  He quickly demonstrated his power and put an emphasis on why he held the trident. That was a bold move King Aeolus made against Neptune and an even bigger one for Juno. Her rage was uncalled for and unruly. For a god to get so angry at a group of people who were an omen to a future city she loved so much. That seems unfair to Aeneas and his people they didn't deserve her wrath, but favoritism fueled her fury. If she had liked Aeneas and his people instead she wouldn't have tried to kill them. Even if she had no love or didn't think of them as nothing but lives created to worship her. They would've have not been targeted by her if she didn't have favorites to compare them to. But Neptune stepped in to defend his waters not to save those men. He was angry at Juno for playing with his waves. And even though he didn't stop it to defend anything but his pride. Aeneas and his men were still saved by a prideful god from a spiteful god.
