Alexander Schmid Podcast

In this lecture, we discuss (1) the proem of the poem and its connections to Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey", (2) the stoic tradition and how Neptune's "oratorical" skill is a symbol for stoicism and the subjugation of emotion to reason, and (3) the future and fate of the Trojan and Roman peoples. I also say Rome rather Troy as the last word of the lecture by accident! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
