We're almost there, and the Trojans and Latins know it. 
As the men weep, bury their dead, and bicker amongst themselves about whose fault it was that this war started in the first place, at least the women can be relied upon to get business done: Camilla, Diana and, finally, the women of Latium themselves all make their mark in this penultimate episode.

The Aeneid - Book Eleven: Women's Work

Teachers would call it 'lively,' scholars would call it 'unorthodox,' and I'd call it 'honest'...I re-interpret Virgil's Aeneid with a dash of realism and all the underlying sarcastic comments necessary, reminding everyone that the classics are for all of us, always. 
(ps. in Rome, the plebs were the ordinary people. You and me. This is Classics, for Us). 

Bonus points: if you're studying Classics right now, I made sure to include all those important bits that'll definitely come up in your exams...
