Dr. Gareth Williams, a professor of Classics at Columbia University, joins Lexie to discuss his fascination with poetry and theme of social reflection in Ovid, whether the Aeneid is original or simply a copy of Homer’s works, the process of writing his new book, and making ancient material understandable to modern audiences.
