Do you ever think about how the first spoken words in the Aeneid are “mene incepto..” and if you read them aloud (eliding the e at the end of mene ofc) it literally sounds like you’re saying μηνιν which is the first word of the Iliad + it’s Juno speaking and she’s the one with the rage this time + it’s such a nod to the Iliad being in the oral tradition. vergil’s mind. oh my god oh my GOD

vergil literally has the biggest poetic meat of any ancient roman poet. i love this shit!!
