Episode 4.3.b

>In imāginātiōne TSTT, bellum Trōiānum, aetās aēnea (Bronze Age)<

Aenēās prīmō īrātus est. metus et īra in vultū eius sunt, et caput iterum iterumque movet. tandem gladium dēpōnit. superbus vidētur, sed victus.

 

tempus in hīs somniīs celeriter fluit. modo vīdistis Aenēām parantem; nunc ambulātis inter superstitēs Trōiānōs ex urbe ad montēs.

 

post vōs servī fessī māgnum saxum trahunt. saxum nitidum est et lūcet. eadem lūx. īdem Lapis. servī lignīs ex domibus diruptīs traham fēcērunt.

 

ūnus servus māgnā vōce gemit.

 

"tū! Lapis gravissimus est! quid dēsīderat Aenēās? dē deīs dīcēbat. Lapidem nōtissimum vocābat, sed cūr?"

 

Sextus, prope vōs: "Yes, it's ridiculous to have them pulling the stone that way. But is it any more ridiculous than claiming that you're descended from a wandering Trojan refugee?"

 


Prompt: Help the slaves pull the Lapis. Try to explain to them their part in Roman history. Multiple LP for any awareness you can show that the Aeneid is not a true story.
