I don't think I've posted this yet, which surprises me.
Sep 21– From The Aeneid by Virgil (~25BC) translated by John Dryden
Summary: Aeneas goes TO HELL.
Commentary: Virgil really leaning into the Odyssey on this one. He talks to his dad instead of his mom, so that's different at least. He meets the heroes of the Trojan war, a close friend, plus a few other mythological figures, it's creepy, etc. He does see a bunch of mythological creatures (Hydra, Chimera, Centaurs) which is a more interesting add on.
