Virgil’s Aeneid Ep 8 – pius

Was Aeneas a pious Faithful or a deceptive Traitor? Caroline and Katrina explore the importance of ‘pietas’ in the Aeneid, spill the tea on the latest episodes of Celebrity Traitors and discuss morality and heroism – is Aeneas perhaps more like Odysseus than we think?

In this series, podcast host Katrina Kelly is joined by bestselling author Caroline Lawrence, to discuss Virgil’s epic poem, The Aeneid. In each episode, inspired by a particular word, Katrina and Caroline explore characters, themes and poetic techniques, their favourite Virgilian similes, hear the sounds of ancient languages, and dive into the rich imagery and literary heritage of the Aeneid.
