Virgil Virgin

[rebness]

Second book of the dark, murky wasteland days of internet loss is Virgil's The Aeneid. Wow. Am so smart, and stuff.

Except for the part where, thus far, I've only managed to work out who the equivalent of Juno, Jupiter and Venus are. I have no damned idea who that guy is with the swirly winds. I thought he was Neptune, but then Neptune turned up. Perhaps Apollo? No, there's Phoebus Apollo right there. WOE.

Does anyone know what happened to Paris? I didn't find out from The Illiad and I'm not sure I will from Virgil. The Odyssey is currently in hiding, or Jack finally defeated Odysseus.

Also, every time Dido speaks, I imagine her to use a North London accent.

Postmodernist mindsets suck.

But the Angles were a Germanic tribe, so wouldn't the "true English", if you could quantify them (I have a hunch it's like asking who was the real King Arthur), the Britons and earlier tribes?

My point, anyway, was that I hate being asked lots of questions all the time, especially when the answers are very obvious or just require a little initiative to find out. :(

Achilles is kind of effeminate and also stupid in The Firebrand, so that will be a nice change of pace.

That is a good point. Oh, who knows who the "true" Brits are, anymore? Maybe there are about three true Brits left, what with all the slaughtering, the yelling and the huge battles.

I wish they could do like a blood test or something to work that out. At the moment, I'm sure they can only tell you if you're of European blood. Well, guh.

Yaay for being effeminate. Boo for stupid people. I shalt,however, read of Achilles, runner and stupid person.
