Man, I *want* to stir the pot by saying 'the Aeneid' but even I can't do that. The Aeneid is, in fact, a great work of literature which can stand on its own, not a dim imitation of Homer, but one could hardly scrap Homer for Vergil; you'd lose both.
@kxjohnson I don't think that the approach by the Brad Pitt movie Troy was correct either, where they tried to fix the film in the true historical past without the gods entirely. I'm excited to see what a skilled director who makes choices does!
@kxjohnson We'll be watching it this weekend, for sure. I'm not sure Richard Brody (whom I don't know) is right. The poem is about Odysseus (the first word is "man", ἄνδρα), and any classicist knows how stupid it has looked to depict divinities in film.
@sentantiq Reading about the umbrella pine over Vesuvius for AP Latin led to non-stop pine tree references for the rest of the year.
@miserabiliter Betteridge’s law of headlines seems to apply here to the title of this: "Obvia Signis Signa: A Signature in the Proem to Lucan’s Bellum Civile?" NO
@veriloquia @DAMendelsohnNYC Aeneas *is* the anti-Odysseus, especially in his personality.
Ben Johnson retweeted
The Epic of Gilgamesh is remarkable in that it's a 4,000-year-old text but it gets new content faster than ASOIAF
Kind of sheds new light on the Aeneid too.

The Maine DOE visited my school yesterday for the final round of the Maine Teacher of the Year. I couldn't have asked for a better day. mainedoenews.net/2025/09/26/a-d…
@piniferalittera I think big rivers having seven mouths is a trope. Hardie suggests that the Romans didn’t even know of the Ganges delta during V’s time, and suggests the amnes are tributaries.
Ben Johnson retweeted
It's even funnier because it should be *them* not *they* lol

43 BC: Marcus Tullius Cicero est omnis divisus in partes tres, quarum una caput est, alia truncus, tertia manus… {Rather macabre. Sorry).
Gaius Julius Caesar est omnis divisus in partes tres.
@BretDevereaux Pliny and Trajan use “aquae ductus” in their Book 10 exchange (which every AP Latin student will soon read).
@EllenLeePhD @lenofi Since I learned from Wheelock’s, my videos almost perfectly line up with that sequence.
Ben Johnson retweeted
Yes. I learned Fortran and studied Latin in 1973-4. One of them is now effectively a dead language, the other provides constant inspiration!
@MagisterConway @DCComm In my own limited database (just a few works), I have multitudo about 1.5x as frequent as turba.

Yr7 Latinists have just had a complete ‘Geek-Out’ over tenses (thanks to @latintutorial - cheers, Ben!). So many links made to other languages they know…. #CastleCourtCurious 🏴 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 🇩🇰 🇮🇳 🇮🇹 🇩🇪
