So, I can normally understand most stories and their flow, but the Aeneid is another story. First the change from the Greek pantheon, to the Roman pantheon threw me off. While the Roman pantheon is strikingly similar, I had a problem understanding who each god was. Also, I had to read the same paragraph multiple times in-order to understand what is going on, and I am still not quite sure... However the view of the Trojan war from the side of the Trojan's is very much appreciated. History is normally told by the winner, this is one of the few times when it is not.

I agree. It was a rather difficult read. I had to look back a few times to the page before to get some context, haha.
ReplyDeleteI can not agree more fully. I was getting so frustrated trying to grasp what was happening. Hopefully some things will be cleared up in class. . . Just know you are most definitely not the only one who is confused!
ReplyDeleteGreek 'Parthenon'. Roman 'Pantheon'. Totally different structures by the way
