ngl that would be a funny bit if Musk started a whole ass Twitter thread rephrasing the entirety of the Aeneid in his usual raving manner, screeching about weapons and some dude from Troy

Is Grimes Dido in this narrative?

[–] GrumpigPoopBalls@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Dido

this brings back memories of the time i had to read a few paragraphs of the aeneid aloud in 7th grade but my friend changed Dido to Dildo with a pencil while i was reading and i got in trouble for laughing.

I think Grimes should be Aeneas and Musk should be Dido

[–] StalinIsMaiWaifu@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago

I would agree, but the aeneid was blatant propaganda, so the reversal works on the meta level

Thanks for reminding me of the long buried memory of my Latin teacher explaining this is the first description of pizza in literature.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat. That’s true prophecy. A roman writing about a food that won’t be invented for 1000 years
