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.

Thanks to a little helpful nudging from Juno (of course), war breaks out between the Trojans and the Latins. Planks of wood turn into women, Turnus is related to lions, tigers and bears (oh my!) more times than is frankly necessary, and innocent sons, husbands, fathers, are slaughtered on all sides...like when wildflowers are cut by ploughs, or when poppies bow their heads in the rain....
