"On page 19, I’m struck immediately by how Virgil portrays, for perhaps the first time in literature, a highly competent and virtuous Queen. I can’t think of any others in world literature until Spenser’s Elizabeth. Dido is an excellent ruler and the savior of refugees. It makes her betrayal by Aeneas—“founder” of Rome—all the more tragic, and is another way that Virgil subtly subverts Roman supremacist propaganda" — 23 hours, 32 min ago
