If the Aeneid has a million fans, I'm one of them
If the Aeneid has one fan, I'm that one
If the Aeneid has no fans, my soul, indignant, has fled down to the underworld with a sigh

It’s World Bee Day so I drew my favourite Roman apiarist, Vergil 🐝
In his work 'the Georgics', Vergil dedicated book four to discussing the lives and habits of bees in Roman agricultural practices. Some scholars even think that his descriptions of bee society was a reference to the Roman civil war…
I originally drew this bust in 2017, but I wanted to see how much my style has changed over the years! On one hand I think there's still a lot of similarity to my old style, but also I've become much more precise and crisp with my details.

Fuck the government. Let's run away into the countryside wilderness, write some idylls, and make love to some shepherds and nymphs

Got any interesting facts about Virgil?
Boy, do I... 👀
I mean, I can say a couple of them, but I will ALWAYS bring up first the whole funeral he organised for his dead pet fly. *clears throat.*
SO- Augustus had formed a triumvirate and one of its known laws was the expropriation of huge estates from large owners to distribute among their retired legionaries. In any case, it was a political move.
Virgil did not want to give those retired legionaries absolutely nothing of his terrain, after all, he was obessed with staying there and not moving into the big city. So he took the law to an extreme in order to avoid that: land that was considered sacred could not be expropriated.
So what did our guy do?
He buried his "dead pet fly" there. That's what he did. He even organised a god damn funeral for it. So with the fly being buried in that terrain, it was now a sacred place since it contained the "corpse of a loved one" lmao.
Virgil is my favourite poet of all time for various reasons, this is one of them, and the one that I always bring up when someone asks me about him.

He's my baby girl. He's my sweet suffering man. He's my poetic symphony of sardonic beauty. He's rome's weakest soldier. He's a twink. He's a top. He's a dom. He's modest. He's full of himself. He's dying on a ship.
