Explain the god's involvement in human affairs in The Aeneid.

2

The gods involved in the Iliad and the Odyssey are probably in line with the gods development in The Aeneid. Some might view humans as pawns and mere folly for the gods enjoyment.

The gods used humans as tools to get at other gods with whom they had issues.  They help the humans their rival gods want to fail, and so forth.  Like #2 mentioned, sometimes it is only for entertainment value that they meddle in the lives of humans...the witches in Macbeth are a classic case of this as well!
