I've started reading #TheAeneid, and I'm enjoying it. I wasn't sure if the writing would be different than #TheIliad because the former is Roman, and the latter is Greek, but there hasn't been much of a difference, which is nice. 1/3

I've already ordered my next book, which is #TheAeneid by Virgil. I'm curious to see how the writing differs, not just because the author's different but because it's Latin, not Greek. Since the events of the Aeneid occur right after the Trojan war, there should be some continuity between them. 4/5

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.

Seems mildly unhealthy but I'll be entertaining myself to the max until the new year. #HollowKnight might kill any last shred of productivity I have. Hope the season is treating everyone well. #Scrooged #Ghibli #TheAeneid #ReadingTheClassics #TisTheSeason #CasioCTS1 #booksky

I’m reading #TheAeneid and I’m really liking it so far! There’s some really cool lines in it from Queen Dido and my fav so far is:

“Through my own suffering, I am learning to help others”

I finished a BIG section of the research I needed to do for my book where I made a #storyboard for every beat that happens in #TheIlliad. Next, I’ll be finishing my #readthrough of The Iliad, before moving onto #TheAeneid. I hope to be writing pages in April!

I am embarking on a long term passion project of illustrating every single book of #TheIliad, #TheOdyssey, and #TheAeneid over the next few months. This is the first of many paintings to come.
