@TranslatioStud Got a gift of a huge wooden horse today, here in Troy. Just appeared outside the city gate. BTW: War going poorly.

Surprise. Soldiers inside the horse. We didn’t start the fire! Hector’s Ghost says to GTFO – take Dad and the kid with me.

I’m on a boat. Three generations of Aenean men on a sea-journey of epic proportions. Hmm. Sounds familiar…

From Twitterature: The World's Greatest Books in Twenty Tweets or Less Dryden’s Aeneid (1697), writes editor Frederick Keener, is not merely a superb translation but ‘an important, magisterial and moving English poem’ in its own right, as well as a major influence on Pope and the main eighteenth-century tradition.
