i'm sad at how few ancient sources there are on turnus but then i realized i wouldn't be so intrigued by turnus and saddened by the lack of non-vergil sources if vergil hadn't written him so interesting in the first place. i was a fool. thank you for the food vergil

⚠️It does not justify their actions in a culture and period full of war and suffering⚠️

Constantly obsessed with the concept of a man forced to be a myth. What do you do when every step you take is embedded into the text. Every word you say prose to read. You're part of something bigger than yourself. The narrative tugs you along like water currents. There is no time to rest, to be human. You must be great, you must be legend

the sun is too big. way too big. like way way too big. it's not even the biggest thing. there's bigger things. much bigger things. the sun is like, one of the smaller things, and it's way too big

[is-this-fascism]

it's that big and you can't even look at it. our planet catches a tiny percentage of the energy the sun spits out at every moment. that powers everything. your whole life happens because of a teeny tiny portion of the sun's energy. it's so big. you can't even look at it

now consider the following about ascanius. hes been basically ignored by aeneas for the. entire second half of the book. based on junos words and the battle scene he was left to lead the army when aeneas fucked off to arcadia. then aeneas came back. with a guy . that he doted on like a son.

like imagine being 12 and that shit happening to you id just start mauling everyone

The Death of Dido, ca. 1711

Augustin Cayot (1667 - 1772)

[pmreaper]

thinking about how young turnus is compared to aeneas and just getting angry. yes turnus was an arrogant little shit with pride to go around but thats because he was 20 years old

[pmreaper]

almost made a joke about aeneas needing to get a mortgage but realized that implies he needs to find a home first and that was the whole point of the war in latium

[sickfreaksirkay]

no one talk to me about how the word virgil uses to describe aeneas killing turnus means "to bury [his sword]" but also means "to found [a city]". christ

[ulteriusnetendeodiis]

"average ship is doomed by the narrative 3 times over" factoid actualy just statistical error. average ship is doomed by the narrative 0 times over. Turnus/Lavinia, which is doomed by the narrative 10,000 over, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
