#virgil’s aeneid

[greekmythcomix]

Hello Aeneas didn’t found Rome, he founded the city (Lavinium) that founded the city (Alba Longa) that founded Rome (by Remus & Romulus).

If like wannabe world overlords you like to learn your mythological founding stories without having to read the actual epic poem, or you just want a fun refresher, here’s one to the tune of The Fresh Prince (because everyone knows The Fresh Prince):

Aeneid Book 8

Virgil: The shield was so awesome I can’t describe it

*Queue three page long description of the shield*

#guess what I just did in my classics class today #that book is wild though it’s drops so crazy lore #Vulcan (Hephaestus) is just casually chatting to Venus (Aphrodite) and he drops a BOMBSHELL #“oh yeah Troy didn’t have to fall when it did and how it did like it was gonna fall but it could have been at other times #also it’s so awkward when Venus accidentally reminds Aeneas that hes an affair baby bless him #anyways what a cool shield #the aeneid #Aeneas #Aeneid #Venus #Aphrodite #vulcan #Hephaestus #Troy #Trojan war #virgil #Vergil #virgil’s Aeneid #Roman #classics #Latin #latin literature

Greek Mythology/Animation Parallels

Vi=Achilles

Luz=Odysseus

Adora=Aeneas

Catra=Dido

Glimmer=Lavinia

Kipo=Theseus (or mayhaps Doctor Emilia is an attempted Theseus and Kipo herself is a sympathetic version of Asterion/The Minotaur).

Aeneid Daily: because to my knowledge no one’s done it yet, and if I can get even one more person to read the Aeneid, I’ll die happy!

In the fashion of Ovid Daily and e-pistulae, Aeneid Daily emails you Vergil’s greatest work in daily chunks of roughly 100 lines each. Each post will include the selected lines in English, as translated by A.S. Kline, as well as in Latin, as accessed from thelatinlibrary.com. I’ve also included some links to helpful resources for first-time readers, as I think knowledge of the poem’s historical and literary context really helps it come alive.

The newsletter is scheduled to start on June 1st, 2023, and run until the second week of September. Subscribe for boats, battles, bleeding bushes, journeys to the Underworld, women warriors, unspecified dirty activities in a cave, arms, men, and, of course, pietas.

Imagine Aeneas just sailing around, trying to find Italy so that can found Rome, and then as he’s going he just sees Odysseus on his boat with his Greeks trying to get home and they’re just like

If the Aeneid has a million fans, I'm one of them

If the Aeneid has one fan, I'm that one

If the Aeneid has no fans, my soul, indignant, has fled down to the underworld with a sigh

Léon Cogniet (1794-1880) "Métabus et Camille" In Virgil's Aeneid, Camilla is the daughter of King Metabus and Casmilla. Driven from his throne, Metabus is chased into the wilderness by armed Volsci, his infant daughter in his hands. The river Amasenus blocked his path, and, fearing for his child's welfare, Metabus bound her to a spear. He promised Diana that Camilla would be her servant, a warrior virgin. He then safely threw her to the other side, and swam across to retrieve her. The baby Camilla was suckled by a mare, and once her "first firm steps had [been] taken, the small palms were armed with a keen javelin; her sire a bow and quiver from her shoulder slung." She was raised in her childhood to be a huntress and kept the companionship of her father and the shepherds in the hills and woods.
