Mini Myth: Who Let a Woman Found a City?! Dido Beyond the Aeneid
Podcast: Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology RetoldRating: Explicit Published On: Tue Feb 11 2020
Description: There's more to Queen Dido than Virgil tells us in the Aeneid, she had a life before Aeneas came to town, if you can believe it! This mini myth covers the story of Dido's founding of Carthage outside of what is told in the Aeneid. CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
