Latin Literature Tournament - Round 1

Propaganda under the cut!

Suetonius Propaganda

I say this with all love and affection--Suetonius is so full of shit. Like reading a magazine in the grocery impulse aisle, in the best possible way

Has very cool intratextual bits and ring structures

He runs on pure vibes, and honestly I love this for him

Vergil Propaganda:

The vates himself, everyone. The poet so good that the Church was like "okay yeah this one magical pagan can stay"

The Fourth Eclogue is such a weird little delight. Is it about the children of Antony? Augustus? Is it a prediction of the birth of Christ? Is it somehow, as I heard one professor suggest for some reason, about Gallus? The possibilities are endless

Are you going to vote against the world-shattering masterpiece that is the Aeneid?

Side note, if you spell it "Virgil" you are my enemy

Homer: This is my OC Odysseus he’s a trickster

Sophocles: What a compelling villain

Homer: No!! He’s a hero!!!!

Romans: Um, no, he’s totally problematic, he’s definitely evil

Homer: No!!!!!! He’s a good guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Modern readers: Oh so he’s like, an antihero, cool

Homer: Absolutely not. Now you’re just making up words

On they went then in darkness, through the lonely Shadowing night, a nowhere of deserted dwellings, Dim phantasmal reaches where Pluto is king-- Like following a forest path by the hovering light Of a moon that clouds and unclouds at Jupiter's whim, While the colours of the world pall in the gloom.

Seamus Heaney, Aeneid Book VI

Virgil wastes no time letting you know that Aeneas has mummy issues and that one of his driving heroic purposes is in finding quality mother-son bonding times.

#aeneas #tagamemnon #virgil's aeneid #the aeneid #aphrodite #venus #trojan war #Actually the best character development was Aphrodite and Aeneas' relationship #From rarely speaking to making your third husband make your numberth something son weaponry #And they say family love is dead in the Epic's

#tw snakes #tw spiders #tw eyes #tw religious imagery #tw body horror #anaroceit #anaroceitweek2023 #janus sanders #virgil sanders #roman sanders #a n y w a y s. it is so fun to draw these hoes.#hellllloooooo monster fuckers. no these are still mostly humanish. yes they still have monster parts.#i have kinda ideas for them but honestly? we'll see how after this week goes.#insanely they remind me of both Good Omens in the story im building in my head and ALSO. the epic of gilgamesh. yes the oldest novel ever.#its s p e c i f i c a l l y for the idea of the intro. the whole deal of.#Gilgamesh was called a god and a man; Enkidu was an animal and a man. It is the story of their becoming human together.#THEYRE BECOMING HUMAN TOGETHER!!!!!!! THAT IS THE POINT. LOVE.#also on the good omens note. they have like. fully hidden; have adjusted to people forms but like. All of them are Disabled. FOR ME.#FOR ME roman is blind in his human (fallen?) form. Janus just doesn't have arms. Virgil has Too Many Senses (autism. just like me fr fr.)#Also virgil has chronic pain but its Mainly projection that could be backed up by angst. janus most likely would too. (falling from heaven?

like the idea that people have had bad taste for hundreds of years might sound crazy to you but the thing is i took AP latin in 11th grade which means i’ve read a couple hundred lines of the aeneid so i personally am inoculated from this misconception

#the aeneid is so funny….. ‘what if the homeric epics but minus any trace of personality and also it’s imperial propaganda’#virgil heads don’t @ me i’ve held this opinion since 2004 and i am not open to rethinking it
