Let's talk Rome: their mythology and some very important historical contexts of a little thing called 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.
