Does anyone else find it peculiar that racist /pol/tards denounce migrants and yet the Aeneid is litteraly about a turk refugee who becomes the founding father of the once greatest civilization on earth? Was Virgil right about fate and migration?
I got a felling this is going to be a great thread.

Jewish propaganda obviously
Samuel Walker
Yeah but the only guy who went the other way is Byron. It's what happens when you write mass appeal poems, your audience doesn't know it's been wronged to be forgiving.

>heh, if I wrap my political thread in a literary cover nobody will notice it's actually political.. Enjoy your ban faggot
He's a religious leader. He's taking the gods from Troy to found a new city (a religious organization), Rome.

What Ovid or catullus have to do with this thread
James Howard
Catullus would be of interest to them while Ovid would not.

>racist /pol/tards denounce migrants There's no way to denounce that there is a push for mass migration into European nations in order to weaken them over the course of generations. If you can't admit that then you're simply ignoring fact.
Kevin Scott
Wait, you don't think Ovid wrote the aeneid do you?
Owen Hill
Aeneas was a blond haired blue eyed Aryan. The Trojans and Dardanians were not the Turks of the modern day.
Carter Johnson
You are aware that the Trojans are the baddies in the Aeneid, and the heroes are the italians who are being killed by the invaders. >inb4 not understanding the tongue in cheek of Vrigil
Why wouldn't someone who likes Virgil like Ovid? Ovid borrowed heavily from Virgil
Isaac Watson
Actually he saw Vergil as having exhausted the forms that Vergil practiced, which led to Ovid writing about entirely different things in different ways: city life, affairs etc Most importantly, having seen that Vergil had finished off the heroic epic he made probably one of the most genius leaps of all time: putting a concept (metamorphosis) as the centre of a coherent narrative epic and followed its spirit through every possible permutation (which is the perfect correlation of subject and structure), which also as an aside is one of the if not the most significant compendiums of myth. Subjectively, I also think he's the superior poet, he's not as academic, austere and subtle as Vergil but less sentimental, more entertaining, readable, more varied and I prefer his imagery.
