Venus is always putting Cupid in the weirdest scenarios

Aeneas to Venus in disguise: Woah, you’re lovely, are you a goddess?

Venus in disguise: no I am not a goddess, I promise

Aeneas: I think you are a goddess

Venus: gosh darn it you’re right

I’m enjoying going thru my notes I wrote in here back in GB I circa 2018. Truly, I had no idea what was going on in this book.

I skipped the 50 page intro because that’s what you do, but I’m logging it here so it feels like I’ve read 50 pages even tho I haven’t

I have decided to challenge myself to re-reading all the Great Books coursework I covered in college, starting with GB I. Pray for me—I took six semesters of GB💀Also I am reading the Robert Fagles translation because that’s the only one I like, not whatever is listed above. Robert Fagles forever and ever🖤
