Teachers would call it 'lively,' scholars would call it 'unorthodox,' and I'd call it 'honest'...I re-interpret Virgil's Aeneid with a dash of realism and all the underlying sarcastic comments necessary, reminding everyone that the classics are for all of us, always. (ps. in Rome, the plebs were the ordinary people. You and me. This is Classics, for Us). Bonus points: if you're studying Classics right now, I made sure to include all those important bits that'll definitely come up in your exams...

The Aeneid - Book Eight: What Did the Trojans Ever Do For Us?

I mean, what have the Trojans ever given us, anyway?

"Romulus?"

Oh, well, yeah...ok, yeah, but apart from him.

"The Salii?"

Alright, yeah, I'll grant you that one too, they're decent. 

"What about the Trojan Games?"

Well, yes, ok, but apart from Romulus, the Salii, the Trojan Games - what have the Trojans EVER really done for us?

...

"They founded Rome?"

Oh do shut up!
