Aeneid I.305-409

Aeneas talks to his mom! It's frustrating. We get a Dido loredrop.

everyone get excited for DIDO BACKSTORY!

[nadianotapplicable]

the ancient romans also had the backrooms but they thought it was normal so they didnt write it down

[aeneiddaily]

Aeneid I.102-209

Neptune gives the winds a proper talking to. Aeneas terrorizes the local ecosystem and offers a motivational speech.

in which aeneas is no less full of despair than he was yesterday.

Aeneid I.1-101

Year four! Let's go!

and by unpopular demand, we're back!

Jocasta Puts the Puzzle Together (after Loraux's Tragic Ways of Killing a Woman), Casey J. King

Clues with a γ are Greek words. Phrases in quotes (that aren't Lear) are headers from Loraux. This is in the rough shape of a different poetry form, if you can figure it out. Good luck.

(solutions here) (also inspired by Iphigenia asks the Pythia about her fate)

Tfw Aphrodite's your mom but all your wives keep dying. Still gotta mog though.

[aziscribs]

Forgive me mother. Guide my prayer. May Aphrodite bless me. Would you come see me just once? They say to behold you is to behold all the beauty that ever has been and ever will be. Hold your hands over my eyes when you come see me, mama. I just want you to hold me.
