I would say I'm sorry for how long this episode is ... but I'm honestly and truly not. This was the shortest I could possibly make it while still giving our Dido the attention she deserves.

Hey I'm currently studying for my A Level World of the Hero exam in May, and your videos have been the biggest help for both the Aeneid and the Iliad. You explain the books so well, but also do it in a jokey way which keeps me amused whilst revising. Thank you so much! XX

Dido said "my teas gone cold im wondering why i got out of bed at all, the morning rain clouds up my window and i cant see at all, but even if i could it would all be grey, but your picture on my wall it reminds me that its not so bad, its not so bad"

Honestly, Dido's whole speech to him was beautiful. Although we don't live with the same conditions, she really encompasses the way that men take everything from women and just leave. I could even feel her attitude and facial expressions while she calls him a liar.

oh my word this book was so rich in so many different ways I am so touched. is there a book that is specifically about the story between Dido and Aeneas?

This was one of the best part in Aeneid. I’m a freshman in liberal art from Taiwan. It’s so bad my friends can’t read these beautiful words from Virgil. I’m studying Latin now, and I hope to translate Aeneas directly from Latin into Chinese someday.

I just watched this video. It was great! as usual! Aeneas has always been a favorite of mine. I read the Aeneid several times. Each time I say, "Did I read this before? I don't remember this part..." A while ago I asked my older bro, "How could he leave this girl?" His answer, "He was busy. He had things to do." You reminded me today, I still can't take it. Even though he was fated and responsible, I can't stop thinking, "He is a bit of a heartless b*****d." I must have missed (4X?) Virgil's comment about the lengths to which the heart will go for love. Thanks for the presentation. I will get David West's translation for next time.

30:22 A portion of Dido's monologue is very reminiscent of Medea, even the throwing herself onto a burning ship bit. It's kinda wild.

I just read this today and it is utterly devastating! I think Emily Bronte must have been affected by this too because I think Cathy has a bit of Dido in her. Sad as it all is, I have to say that this chapter has to one of the best in all literature. Ps I am making my husband read this book now..

I couldn’t agree more that this chapter is one of the best in literature! And oh my goodness do let us all know why your husband thinks, too!

Will you please discuss your own feelings and thoughts regarding David West translation and Robert Fagles? I was told that I should purchase Fagles translation's and now I am finding that I 'really' like Wests. Thoughts and comments, please.
