Virgil already spoke of “the hour when first sleep begins for weary mortals” in his Aeneid: “Tempus erat quo prima quies mortalibus aegris incipit et dono divum gratissima serpit.” What was once poetry now exposes the myth of modern sleep. #Virgil #Aeneid #Latin #EditorialRitual

Other than Odysseus: Survivors of the Odyssey Odysseus: We now set out on our odyssey. Crewman: [raising hand] what's an ‘odyssey’? Odysseus: A long journey named after the only survivor. Crewman: Oh ok… wait… what?!? An amusing joke for a classi...

The Odyssey was seemingly named after its only survivor... except until Virgilian 'fan-fiction' got involved again...

An art piece depicting a young woman with pale skin and fiery red hair in an ancient greek style dress being hugged by a man with black hair, pale skin, and an ancient greek style blue tunic. The man is smiling, while the woman looks thoughtful. the art style is painted with sketchy linework, and there are a few instances where the colors were drawn out of the lines. the woman's eyes are also not colored in.

Before the Romans Got Hold of Him: Aeneas in the Iliad You might see people opining that the story of say the Star Wars movie Rogue One is built upon a question that no one really needed answering – why has an exhaust port connected to vital systems of th...

Is it a little unfair to call Virgil's Aeneid 'fanfiction'?

Easy is the descent into the lower world.
Night and day the door of gloomy Dis stands open;
But to recall Thy steps and pass out to the upper air,
This is the task, this the Work.

My first mini is here!
This mini is dedicated to Queen Dido of Carthage. Instead of throwing herself into the pyre after Aeneas leaves, she redefines happiness after heartbreak.

Was Virgil's Aeneas a Faithful or a Traitor? His epithets tell us... or DO they? 😉

A companion to the Aeneid in translation – Bryn Mawr Classical Review

#classicalreception @ BMCR #review Craig R. Davis on Christopher Tanfield, A companion to the #Aeneid in translation bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2025/2025.10... -- "Every future teacher and serious student of #Virgil’s Aeneid will want these volumes close to hand or readily available in the library."

This one is of Dido, except I didnt want her pining over aeneas. I wanted her to get over him and find herself again. I mean she was a queen after all. She had a lot more going for her than a man. For my 25 days of minis collection.

An Alliterative Aeneid Fragment, by Michael Champagne Of arms, armor, and errant man / I sing: fugitive of fate-doomed city. / From shattered walls to the shores of Lavinia / He came, driven over the dreadful deeps / By Juno's whim ...

Just for the fun of it, you could check to see what they make of a couple of alliterative takes on the Aeneid!

So excited by this new translation of Virgil's Aeneid by Scott McGill & Susannah Wright, w/ intro by the wonderful Emily Wilson. The Aeneid is my fave book from the ancient world & has influenced everything I've written. I'm listening on @audibleuk! 🥰 #Aeneid #Virgil

In particular, how might we see the #TLDP song 'Burn Alive' as a reimagining of Dido's story? www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4BW... #aeneid #popclassics #classicalreception #virgil #music

As promised (threatened?), I am posting here a poem titled “Aeneids,” which I originally published with Stoneslide Corrective. This is a new text, paired with a Gelli print that I thought looked cool.

Watched #GameOfThrones season 7. Got so mad I got wasted, rewrote the Aeneid as a grimdark queer/feminist fantasy, and submitted the first chapter as a replacement for an essay in a Roman History class.

Sculpture by Bernini, of Aeneas, his father, his son, showing the three ages of man.

YOUNG CLIFFORD.
Come, thou new ruin of old Clifford's house:
As did Aeneas old Anchises bear,
So bear I thee upon my manly shoulders:
Bt then Aeneas bare a living load,
Nothing so heavy as these woes of mine.

Next up in my sampling of poems from the Spring issue of Forgotten Ground Regained, two poems by Michael Champagne: alliterative verse fragments for the openings of the Iliad and the Aeneid.
