We made it. The Final Showdown. 
There have been endless deaths. Endless tears. Endless broken hearts. Endless emotional breakdowns (mortal and immortal).
But, finally, the armies stop bickering, the gods stop tantruming, and Aeneas and Turnus can meet on the battlefield. 
There can only be one winner. 
(Rome)

The Aeneid - Book Twelve: Of Arms and Men

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...
