In this first of a two-part mini series on Euripedes, Dr. Fleming discusses what (little) we know about Euripedes, his relationship in the mind of the Greeks to Aeschylus and Sophocles, the themes he most frequently considered, and why he’s important for us to study today.
In this third episode on the Aeneid (Episodes 1 and 2 available here and here) Dr. Fleming discusses similarities between the Odyssey and Aeneid and why Aeneas must press forward, through geographic and intellectual wanderings, even though he finds some of his fellow Trojans building “Parva Troia” and finds a beautiful queen in Dido who tempts him to end his journey. Book III is an essential background for understanding the work.

There will come soft rain and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
