This quote from the poet Virgil (Aeneid VI.1) is one of my favorites. It’s a nice way to encapsulate the idea that no matter how things are going the human brain is continually in motion.
This quote has been attributed to the poet Virgil. The Roman poet Virgil is considered, along with the Greek Homer, the literary inspiration for the Iliad and the Odyssey. Virgil, who lived from A.D. 48 to 84, is considered the first Western poet, though he never rose to the level of great poet.
It is from a passage of the Aeneid, which was written around the year A.D. 120.
The passage of the Aeneid, which is the subject of this quote, is a story about the Aeneas, a Roman soldier who goes on a quest for the mythical city of Rome. He ends up meeting Aeneas’ sister, Dido, who tells him the story of the fall of Troy. This story is a story about how Aeneas’ mother was raped by a giant.
A.D. 48 to 84 is where the Aeneas story starts. Aeneas sister, Dido, says that because Troy was in the wrong place at the wrong time for the Aeneas, the Aeneas ended up marrying the wrong woman. Dido describes Aeneas mother as “wretched woman, / A monstrous creature.” She tells Aeneas that Troy was ruled by a giant, named Jupiter.
Aeneas sister, Dido, tells Aeneas mother that Troy was not ruled by a giant but the giant was ruled by a giant. Aeneas mother says that Aeneas mother was a monster too. Dido says that the Aeneas are a people who worship giant gods. She says that Troy is ruled by Jupiter. She ends her story with Aeneas saying that the Aeneas are one people.
Dido’s story is a bit different. She’s talking to a man who’s not Troy, but instead of Troy’s half-brother Aeneas mother, Aeneas sister. Aeneas sister tells the man about the giants. He tells the man that the Aeneas are a people who worship giant gods. It’s not clear just how much Aeneas sister knows about the giants, or what the man knows about the giants.
I think there is a connection between the giants and the Aeneas/Giants/Gods as a people. I think this is because the Aeneas/Giants/Gods, and the giants, are all the same people.
The giants and Aeneas are the same people.
