Ch7. Great trickery/sly words on the Odysseus’ changing of story. Reminds me of Decameron, Alatiel and her cleverness to change her story

Just finished book 6. So interested in Vergil’s choice of animals in similes. Why compare Odysseus to a mountain lion about to strike the young girls when he means no harm?

Incredible history of Pompeii. This town is much more complex than many American cities, historically well before even the Romans arrive. Changes of gov’t, language.
