Summary
<p>Speaking just for myself, I'm still not over Creusa. Aeneas' first wife, the woman who bore the future forefather of Rome's emperors, must stay behind to die in Troy while her family forges on ahead. Today we'll talk about why that has to be, what it says about the tragic cost of destiny for each of us, and how book II of Virgil's epic concludes. Plus: the cast list for Christopher Nolan's <em>Odyssey </em>is out! My reaction to Zendaya as Athena, and a mailbag question about the legacy of Carthage.</p> <p> Use code HERETICS to get 20% off Field of Greens: <a href="https://fieldofgreens.com">fieldofgreens.com</a></p> <p>Order Light of the Mind, Light of the World (and rate it five stars): <a href="https://a.co/d/2QccOfM">https://a.co/d/2QccOfM</a></p> <p>Subscribe to be in the mailbag: <a href="https://rejoiceevermore.substack.com">https://rejoiceevermore.substack.com</a></p>
