The Man, the Myth, the Legend? Aeneas (The Aeneid Part 5)

Guess who's back, back again? It's time to return to the Aeneid. Aeneas is in Carthage with its queen, Dido, and things are going well... for now. A brief recap of the earlier Aeneid episodes is included in the episodes, but for a list of those past episodes, see below.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Sources: Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Sarah Ruden. For past episodes on the Aeneid and Dido/Carthage, listen to:
