Keeping Up with the Classics

Keeping Up with the Classics - Dido


Listen Later

In today’s slightly unusual episode, we take a break from Greek mythology to discuss the myth of Dido from Virgil’s ‘Aeneid’ with our special guest, Louisa. We talk about whether each of us are Team Dido or Team Aeneas and who is to blame for Dido’s demise. We also look to the suicides of Antigone, Ophelia and Juliet, before honing in on the insanity of Bertha Rochester from Charlotte Brontë’s ‘Jane Eyre’ (with some minor references to Frozen). We hope you enjoy!
