Jeff and Dave are back at it after a tiny hiatus and a southern-fried roadtrip. In this episode we seek to figure out, with the help of Brooks Otis, why Aeneas is such a passive character in Book IV. Why doesn’t he show a little more chutzpah, temerity, and boldness as he traipses around Carthage? And why is Dido so darkly verklempt? Juno and Venus do some role-shifting as the darts of Cupid’s passion work their way imperceptibly through Dido’s cervine heart. A cave, an eloquent sister serving as matchmaker, the 70’s hit Loveboat, and Dave’s usual pedantry: this episode nearly has it all. And stay tuned for Jeff’s signature exercise program so you can learn how to walk like a Classicist!

Today on the Etruscan Brontoscopic Calendar:
[Saturday] If it thunders today, it portends the dissension of the common people coming to an end.
[Sunday] If it thunders today, it portends the possible misfortune of a powerful man.
