Aeneid

The Roman poet Virgil was born #OnThisDay in 70 BC 📜
His Aeneid reached across the Roman Empire, as shown by this writing tablet from Roman Britain!
The epic poem comprises almost 9,900 lines and tells the legendary story of Aeneas – the son of Venus and Anchises – who leads survivors from the fall of Troy, through the Mediterranean, to the future site of Rome.
This wooden writing tablet was found in the commanding officer's residence at Vindolanda, in modern Chesterholm, and inscribed with an unfinished private letter. On the reverse of the tablet is a complete line from the second half of Virgil's Aeneid. The placement of this inscription may suggest that the texts of Virgil were used for writing practice at Vindolanda ✍

From the moment it appeared, the Aeneid was the paradigmatic classic in Western art and education.

Is the Aeneid a Celebration of Empire—or a Critique?
By mythologizing the Romans’ Trojan origins, Virgil turned a story about losers into an epic about winners.












Denis Diderot was a French philosopher and writer, perhaps best known as the chief editor of the Encyclopédie (1751–72), a work of fundamental importance in shaping the rationalist and humanitarian ideals of the Age of Enlightenment. He was a highly versatile author, his vast output including novels, plays, scientific writings, and criticism.
"Poetry wants something enormous, barbarous, savage."



Philosopher, art critic, and writer Denis Diderot was born in Langres, Champagne, France on this day in 1713.


Their thinking was radical, but expressing it was dangerous. Diderot—who was born on October 5th 1713—was imprisoned for his writings, an experience that left him too scared to lay out his philosophy plainly, instead disguising it within plays, novels and letters

Eheu! - Great Roman poet #Virgil - author of three of the most famous poems in Latin literature (the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the epic Aeneid) - died #onthisday 19BC. Thought we'd mark his passing with a quick browse through some of the 82 works we have on our Virgil shelves.

to sing of arms and the man

In English, the line translates as "I sing of arms and the man." In Vergil, "the man" is, of course, Aeneas, and "arms" refers to the Trojan War & Aeneas' journey from Greece. ... The title is an allusion to the first line of Vergil's Aeneid. In English, the line translates as "I sing of arms and the man."

He halted, and said, with tears: ‘What place is there,
Achates, what region of earth not full of our hardships?
See, Priam! Here too virtue has its rewards, here toothere are tears for events, and mortal things touch the heart.Lose your fears: this fame will bring you benefit.’BkI:458-462
