Arma virumque cano - thus begins the greatest work of Latin literature, Vergil's Aeneid. The story follows a survivor of Troy, Aeneas, as he escapes the city at its fall and travels the Mediterranean to fulfill his destiny: to lay the foundations of what would become Rome. The epic poem plays on Homeric plots and themes, but also comes across as distinctly Roman. This week, Ardaschir and Timothy demonstrate their piety to the podcast (Aeneas would approve) as they discuss some of their questions and insights on the text. (Note: Here is a copy of the text translated by John Dryden, and here is a more contemporary translation by Robert Fagles.)
