Bio   There are two versions of Dido's story:

  1. When Dido's husband is killed by her brother, she leaves Greece [Carthage was originally a Phoenician colony] for North Africa and founds Carthage.  She escapes a local suitor, who is no doubt after her wealth as well as her lovely self, with a public suicide. 
  2. There is another sad version to Dido's tale in Virgil's Aeniad.  This time Aeneas (son of Aphrodite) loves and dumps Dido on his not very direct route from the fall of Troy to his founding of Rome.  Virgil wanted to connect Rome's founding with Homer's Greek gods and heroes.  He also wanted to keep the emperor of Rome, Caesar Augustus (Octavian), happy.

Historical fiction puts a human face on history that's too often full of dry facts and dates.  David Anthony Durham's Pride of Carthage (great title with numerous meanings) takes us back to the Punic Wars when Rome challenged the might of Carthage and Hannibal was the new Alexander the Great.

Durham's novel is excellent.  The end was never in doubt but the journey was compelling.    Nancy

If you never had to read The Aeneid in school, now's a good time to improve your mind.  It's not only a genuine classic and a great story (Aeneas and his son escape Homer's Troy only to find adventure AND contribute to the founding of Rome), but a nice piece of Roman propaganda.  Virgil wrote this and other works at the behest of the Emperor Augustus who wanted to give Romans a better and finer image.  Nancy
