Dec 4– From "The Aeneid" by Virgin (19 BC) translated by John Dryden

Dec 4– From The Aeneid by Virgin (19 BC) translated by John Dryden

Summary: Dido works to seduce Aeneas during a hunt, the gods convince him to leave anyway. 

Commentary: I don't know if it's the translation, the content, or the fact that I'm not familiar with the out of order story, but I enjoy the Aeneid bits a lot less than the Odyssey ones.
