Historians face many problems in piecing together the past from ancient inscriptions. They're usually incomplete, and also their origin and date may not be known.历史学家们在用古代铭文拼凑过往时面临许多难题。这些铭文通常残缺不全，而且它们的来源和年代也可能无从知晓。Researchers attempt to fill in the blanks by drawing on texts that are similar in wording, grammar, and appearance. Ancient inscriptions tend to be formulaic, so historians can infer what the missing part of the sentence is saying from similar inscriptions. The process is painstaking and can take months or years.研究人员们尝试填补铭文中的空白部分，他们通过借鉴在措辞、语法和外观上类似的文本来完成这项工作。古代铭文往往具有程式化的特征，所以历史学家们可以从相似的铭文中推断出一个句子中缺失的部分所要表达的内容。这个过程是十分艰难的，可能需要数月甚至数年的时间。Aeneas does this in the blink of an eye, by drawing from a database of 176,000 ancient Roman writings.而埃涅阿斯仅用一眨眼的功夫就能完成这项工作，它依靠的是从一个包含 17.6 万份古罗马文献的数据库中提取信息。

När Augustus grep makten under den utdragna maktkampen i spåren av mordet Julius Caesars genomlevde Rom en djup identitetskris. Republiken hade kollapsat, och ett nytt imperium växte fram – styrt av en man som vägrade titulera sig kung, men ändå utövade envälde i praktiken. För att befästa sin ställning och skapa den långvariga freden – Pax Romana – insåg Augustus att han behövde kontrollera mer än armén och senaten; han måste också forma romarnas värderingar, livsstil och kultur. Men han lyckades inte kontrollera sin egen dotter Julia.I det sjätte och avslutande avsnittet i Historia Nu:s sexdelade serie om Romarriket samtalar Urban Lindstedt med Ida Östenberg, professor i antikens kultur och samhällsliv vid Göteborgs universitet.Ett av de tydligaste uttrycken för detta var Augustus försök att kontrollera det privata livet – särskilt äktenskap, sexualitet och kvinnlig dygd. Genom lagar som Lex Iulia de maritandis ordinibus (18 f.Kr.) och Lex Iulia de adulteriis coercendis (17 f.Kr.) ville Augustus återupprätta så kallade romerska dygder. Gifta medborgare – särskilt från överklassen – förväntades föda fler barn och leva moraliskt. Ogifta kunde drabbas av ekonomiska straff, och äktenskapsbrott blev ett offentligt brott. Kvinnor hamnade i fokus för regleringen: lojalitet, trohet och moderskap framhölls som ideal. Ironiskt nog drabbades hans egen dotter Julia – landsförvisad år 2 f.Kr. för påstått omoraliskt leverne – vilket innebar ett officiellt bakslag för hans moralism.Samtidigt kultiverade han en ny kulturell identitet genom att skydda och uppmuntra den latinska poesin – det som kom att kallas "det gyllene århundradet". Poeter som Horatius, Vergilius och, inledningsvis, Ovidius var nära kopplade till hans hov. Aeneiden av Vergilius blev ett epokgörande nationalepos som förenade myt, historia och Augustusrötter och kopplade honom till guden Venus genom Aeneas släktlinje. Ovidius, vars verk som Metamorfoser och Ars Amatoria klantades med kärlek och förförelse, förvisades till Svarta havets kust år 8 e.Kr. – i ett tydligt tecken på kulturens spänning under Augustus regim.En av hans mest konkreta kvarlevor är byggnadsverk. Augustus återuppbyggde gamla tempel, lät uppföra nya offentliga byggnader och förskönade stadens infrastruktur – allt vitalt för att skapa ett värdigt Rom. I Res Gestae Divi Augusti sammanfattar han sin insats: “Jag tog över en stad av tegel och lämnade en av marmor.” Monument som Ara Pacis och Mars Ultors tempel på Forum Augustum manifesterade hans roll som fredsstiftare och Caesars arvtagare – och fyllde stadsrummet med arkitektonisk symbolik, arbetstillfällen och belöningar för lojalitet. Det nya Rom – mjukgatad i marmor – blev ett monument över hans makt.Omslag: Bröderna Tiberius och Gaius Gracchus var romerska folktribuner som verkade för omfattande jord- och samhällsreformer till förmån för de fattiga klasserna.

...And also, pizza. Kind of. This might be one of the coolest parts of Virgil ever, and even though I've been reading the Aeneid since high school, I feel like I only just figured it out. One of the most famous lines of the poem—forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit, “one day it will be pleasing to remember even these things—finds its answer in Book 7, when Aeneas arrives on shore and has to face the possibility of war with the, erm...indigenous Latinx peoples.

Att en liten stad vid floden Tibern på den italienska halvön kunde förvandlas till ett imperium som sträckte sig från Mesopotamien till Britannien har fängslat oss i årtusenden. Och Romarriket fortsätter att påverka oss genom språk, arkitektur och lagstiftning.Romarrikets ursprung vilar på legenderna om tvillingarna Romulus och Remus och även hjälten Aeneas från Troja. Dessa myter visar vilka ideal Romarriket byggdes på.Detta är det första av sex avsnitt om Romarriket i podden Historia Nu. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Ida Östenberg, professor i antikens kultur och samhällsliv vid Göteborgs universitet.Arkeologiska fynd visar att bosättningar fanns på Palatinen och Roms andra kullar redan under 800-talet f.Kr. Utgrävningar visar ett samhälle i förändring, påverkat av grannar som etruskerna, och med en växande ambition att härska över mer än bara sina egna sju kullar.Den viktigaste faktorn bakom Roms expansion under antiken var dess militära styrka och organisatoriska skicklighet. Genom ett disciplinerat och flexibelt armésystem, strategisk utplacering av kolonier samt effektiv integration av erövrade folk som medborgare eller allierade, kunde Rom snabbt utvidga sitt herravälde.Det geografiska läget vid Tibern möjliggjorde handel och kommunikation, vilket skapade resurser och strategiska fördelar. Handelsvägar och ekonomiska incitament ledde till välstånd och möjliggjorde import av livsmedel och råvaror – avgörande för att försörja den växande befolkningen och försörja armén. Politisk stabilitet och ett fungerande rättssystem, som de tolv tavlornas lag, bidrog till ordning i ett snabbt växande rike.Roms järnåldersbyar växte gradvis samman. På 600-talet f.Kr. dränerades myrmarkerna mellan kullarna med hjälp av Cloaca Maxima, och Forum Romanum började ta form som stadens centrum.Rom utvecklades från ett kungadöme – där sju legendariska kungar regerade till en republik från år 509 f.Kr. Republiken kom att expandera till ett imperium som kom att dominera hela Medelhavsområdet och stora delar av Europa.Under denna tid utövade etruskerna stort inflytande på Rom. Ett tekniskt och konstnärligt lyft märks i övergången från enkla hyddor till tegel- och stenbyggnader, och från lokala kulter till monumentala tempel. Etruskisk stadsplanering, religiösa ritualer och symboler som fasces införlivades i den romerska kulturen.Etruskerna hade ett utvecklat skriftspråk, avancerad teknik och ett rikt religiöst system som påverkade romarna. Gudavärlden förändrades: den tidigare enkla italiska tron ersattes gradvis av en mer antropomorf och hellenistiskt influerad pantheon. Triaden Jupiter, Juno och Minerva blev symboler för romersk makt och ordning.Omslag: Montage med bröderna Tiberius och Gaius Gracchus som var romerska folktribuner som verkade för omfattande jord- och samhällsreformer till förmån för de fattiga klasserna.

Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today we are looking at Acts, chapter 9, verses 31 to 43, where there is peace in the church following Paul's conversion. As a result of the peace, the church is able to do what it is meant to do - proclaim the name of Jesus by living like Jesus. Peter does exactly this. He witnessed Jesus healing a crippled man and bringing a person back to life. Peter is faced with the very same situtions. Imitating Jesus, Peter heals Aeneas and has him walking, and he raises Tabitha from the dead BUT it is not Peter who is doing this. Peter clearly states it is Jesus who is performing these miracles. Peter is just the conduit. Peter was an ordinary man living doing extraordinary things in the power of the Holy Spirit - and that is the lesson for us. We too are ordinary people and we too can do extraordinary things in the power of the Holy Spirit, to bring glory to God. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all of life all about Jesus.

In this Bible Story, we witness the righteous anger of Jesus. During the Passover, corrupt money-changers and religious leaders exploit people’s desire to worship. So Jesus fashions a whip and drives them out. This story is inspired by John 2:13-23, John 3: 1-21, Numbers 21:4-9. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is John 2:15 from the King James Version.Episode 178: As Jesus entered the temple gates during Passover, His eyes were open to the corruption of that sacred place. Where there should have been awe and a sense of holiness, a marketplace existed. Instead of forgiveness, the religious leaders were requiring fees. Jesus could not stand this happening in God’s temple, so He drove out the buyers, sellers, and the money changers! The temple priests challenged Him on this but Jesus did not falter. Later that evening though, one of the Pharisees came to Him to know more about who He was and what He came to do.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

And now for something completely different. The Odyssey portion of our tour is over, and the Iliad portion will now begin. But wait! Wasn't the Iliad a poem about war? And isn't Aeneas supposed to do battle for Latium? So why is it all sunshine, butterflies, and love goddesses? Today we launch into Part II of the poem with a passage that has bamboozled scholars for centuries, and of course I will deliver the definitive interpretation so that everyone can stop arguing. Plus: a plot summary of what's to come, and advice on reading classic literature if you're having trouble understanding it.

Die Operngeschichte Englands beginnt mit einem Paukenschlag: Ende des 17.Jahrhunderts bringt Henry Purcell die Geschichte von Dido und Aeneas auf die Bühne. In der Diskografie des Stücks gibt es mehrere gelungene Interpretationen, und jetzt kommt beim Label Erato eine weitere, prominent besetzte hinzu: Joyce DiDonato, Michael Spyres und Fatma Said sind am Start, es dirigiert Maxim Emelyanychev.

L'Empire romain nous a légué des milliers d'inscriptions, précieuses pour comprendre son histoire. Mais beaucoup sont arrivées jusqu'à nous abîmées par le temps : lettres effacées, fragments manquants, supports brisés. Un casse-tête permanent pour les historiens, d'autant que chaque année, pas moins de 1 500 nouvelles inscriptions latines sont mises au jour. Pour leur venir en aide, Google et l'université de Nottingham ont mis au point Aeneas, une intelligence artificielle spécialement conçue pour reconstituer ces textes. Dans la revue Nature, les chercheurs détaillent ses capacités : identifier l'origine d'une inscription, retrouver des parallèles dans d'autres corpus, et surtout compléter les parties manquantes.Concrètement, Aeneas s'appuie sur les ressemblances visuelles et linguistiques avec plus de 176 000 inscriptions latines issues de grandes bases de données comme EDR ou EDH. De quoi lui permettre de proposer des reconstructions plausibles. Sa précision atteint 73 % lorsque la lacune ne dépasse pas dix caractères, et reste à 58 % quand la longueur du texte manquant est inconnue. Pas infaillible donc, mais déjà un gain de temps considérable pour les chercheurs, qui conservent la main et peuvent vérifier étape par étape le raisonnement de l'IA.Et Aeneas a un atout supplémentaire : sa capacité à repérer des détails passés inaperçus pour l'œil humain, ouvrant parfois de nouvelles pistes d'interprétation. L'outil pourrait aussi s'adapter à d'autres langues anciennes, à des papyrus ou même à des pièces de monnaie. D'ailleurs, Google l'a déjà intégré à Ithaca, son IA dédiée au grec. Bonne nouvelle : Aeneas est disponible gratuitement, en open source, avec son code et ses données accessibles sur GitHub. Une manière d'élargir encore le champ des possibles… et de donner une seconde vie aux voix éteintes de Rome. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Countertenor Arturo Den Hartog is nog maar net aan zijn carrière begonnen en heeft nu al verschillende lovende kritieken op zijn naam staan. Zijn zang wordt geroemd om zijn indrukwekkende stemomvang en verfijnde expressie. Afgelopen jaar stond hij onder andere in de voorstelling Normality No More van Conny Janssen Danst met het Regazze Kwartet en zong hij de rol van Aeneas in het Concertgebouw. Hij groeide op in Paramaribo (Suriname) en kwam op zijn 18e naar Nederland om te studeren aan het Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag. Presentatie: Frénk van der Linden

Notes//Quotes: Acts 9:31-43 - Faith Title: Questions, Holy Disruptions, And The Ministry Of Small Things  “The three Peter-stories Luke selects are i) a double miracle story how Aeneas was healed and Tabitha raised from death), (ii) a conversion story (how Cornelius was brought to faith), and (ili) an escape story how Peter was rescued from prison and so from Herod's evil intentions). Each may be seen as a confrontation - with disease and death, with Gentile alienation and with political tyranny. Moreover, in each case conflict gave place to victory - the cure of Aeneas, the resuscitation of Tabitha, the conversion of Cornelius, and the removal of Herod.”  - John Stott “Gazelles—small antelopes spoken of in the Bible—are known for their grace and beauty. Some live where rains provide water. But one type, the Dorcas gazelle, can spend its entire life in the desert without drinking—receiving hydration only from plants. This gives it a mysterious quality rather like that of a Christian, whose source of life and love is an invisible fountain of living water, as Jesus promised (John 7:38).” - In Touch Ministries  “The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man.”  -  G. K. Chesterton “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” (James 1:27)

Send us a textRecorded LIVE at Grace Baptist Tabernacle on Wednesday, July 16, 2025. Come visit us! You are welcome and expected here!What happens when you've been bedridden for eight years with no hope of recovery? The story of Aeneas reveals the transformative power of five simple words: "Jesus Christ makes you whole."This profound message explores spiritual paralysis through the lens of a man who couldn't move without help. For eight years - a divinely appointed timeframe - Aeneas remained trapped in his condition, beyond medical intervention, unable to change his circumstances. His physical state mirrors our spiritual reality: helplessly bound by sin, separated from God, and powerless to save ourselves.The symptoms are familiar. Perhaps you're battling the slow cancer of pride that gradually consumes until the inevitable fall. Maybe it's the fever of hatred burning inside, affecting your mind and body. Or possibly you're caught in the  cycle of addiction - highs followed by crashes, with mounting consequences. The paralysis of lust might be your struggle, constantly dominating your thoughts and emotions. Whatever the manifestation, the root cause remains the same: separation from the God who formed you.When Peter approached Aeneas with those transformative words, something remarkable happened. "He arose immediately." Not merely healed physically, but made whole spiritually. His sickbed became a place of rest rather than misery. His weakness turned to strength. His bondage gave way to freedom. And the impact reached far beyond one man - an entire region witnessed the transformation and turned to the Lord.The message resonates powerfully today: Jesus still makes people whole. He still approaches those in helpless situations, offering complete transformation. While we were yet without strength, Christ died for the ungodly. His hand remains extended to those burdened by guilt, shame, anger, bitterness, depression, or despair.Are you ready to exchange your sickbed for a place of rest? Jesus is passing by, offering wholeness to those who recognize their need. Believe on Him with a sincere heart, and experience the freedom that comes when Jesus Christ makes you whole.Support the showNEW BOOK! I'm pleased to say that we have completed a new book that has been years in the making. The Ten Shirot: Songs of Redemption looks at ten songs that were sung through pivotal times in Scripture. It's an examination of the redemption of Jesus, of worship, and of Scripture in a way that we believe you probably haven't seen before.

We explore Acts 9:32-46 and witness God's power on display through the healing of Aeneas and the raising of Tabitha—reminders that He is still able, still sovereign, and still working. Through these stories, we're called to a renewed faith, bold prayer, and a deeper trust in the God who brings life to the broken.

This week, we journey with Peter as he follows Jesus into the wider worldhealing the paralyzed and even raising the dead. But this isnt just about miracles. Its about transformation. Peter is becoming more like Jesus, doing what Jesus did, and seeing others as Jesus sees them. Through the stories of Aeneas and Tabitha, were reminded that God is not done with usthat Jesus still calls us to live, love, and act with the same Spirit that raised the dead. If we want to see the transformative power of God, we must let God transform how we see. https://churchlinkfeeds.blob.core.windows.net/notes/46163/note-237078.html

In this episode of The Classical Mind, we take on Virgil's Aeneid. We explore Aeneas' journey as both refugee and empire-builder, tracing his flight from Troy, his doomed romance with Dido, his descent into the underworld, and the brutal war that led to the founding of Rome. Along the way, we wrestle with the epic's central tensions: fate and providence, duty (pietas) and rage (furor), divine will and human cost. What kind of hero is Aeneas? Why does the poem end with vengeance and wrath? And what does Virgil want us to believe—or question—about Rome's origins?

One of the West's great recurring characters, the Sibyl of Cumae, takes center stage today. Deranged, holy, prophetic, and apparently totally jacked, she guided Rome throughout its history and now teaches Aeneas what he must do to become the man who can found Rome. She may have been one of the pagan visionaires who prophesied the coming of Christ. Plus she's part of a crazy history that goes back to the invention of the alphabet and all the way to the creation of Star Wars. Then: another figure of speech you'll see everywhere once you learn it.

In de tweede Zomerspecial van 2025 neemt Henric Jansen, promovendus aan de Universiteit Leiden, ons nog eens mee naar de wereld van Aeneas Tacticus! In deze special gaan we op pad met Aeneas... onder andere naar de uitvinding en toepassing van cryptografie in de Griekse wereld van de vierde eeuw voor Christus. Hoe werden berichten in die tijd versleuteld? Ook vertelt Henric uitgebreid over de adviezen die Aeneas geeft voor het gebruik van wachtwoorden in het oude Griekenland, waarin we naast diverse prachtige tips ook nog zomaar aan de 'patat-frietdiscussie' raken...ZomerspecialsDeze hele zomer verschijnt er iedere woensdag een nieuwe zomerspecial van Oudheid!

If, like me, you're still sore about what they did to the Gladiator franchise, let this episode be part of your healing journey. It's certainly part of Aeneas': with the fleet grounded back in Sicily, the crew realizes it's been one year since the death of his father Anchises. This is the occasion for a good old fashioned fight night, with funeral games in honor of the great patriarch. It's a connection between Rome's gladiatorial entertainments and the heroic passtimes of yore, a way for Aeneas to seek closure after his year of grief, and a pause between the emotional tryst with Dido and the biggest challenge yet: the descent into the underworld.

This week, we continued in the book of Acts and looked at two miracles performed through Peter: the healing of Aeneas and the raising of Tabitha. These events echo the ministry of Jesus and demonstrate that the Kingdom of God is not only coming but is already here. We explored how miracles are not interruptions of the natural world but glimpses of how God originally intended creation to be—signs of compassion, authority, and ultimate renewal. While not all are given the same miraculous gifts, every follower of Jesus is invited to live as a witness to the miracle of new creation. In Christ, even our transformed lives become evidence that He is alive and His Spirit is still at work.Support the show

In this week's sermon from the "To Be Continued" series, we explore Acts 9:32-43, where Peter performs miraculous healings reminiscent of Jesus' own works. Through the stories of Aeneas and Tabitha, we see how the early church continued Jesus' mission, emphasizing the power of faith and the call to action for believers. The sermon challenges us to reflect on our own lives and the legacy we are creating, urging us to engage with those around us and live out our faith actively. Join us as we delve into the transformative power of the Gospel and the enduring mission of the church.

In this episode of Crack the Book, we take a look at Week Fourteen of Ted Gioia's Humanities Course, covering Virgil's The Aeneid (Books 1–2), Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book 1), and selections from The Portable Roman Reader. The focus is on key texts from Roman literature, their historical context, and their connections to earlier Greek works, providing an overview of their content and significance.Key Discussion Points: Virgil's The Aeneid (Robert Fagles' Translation): Written between 29–19 BCE, The Aeneid serves as Rome's foundational epic, modeled on Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Book 1 opens with Aeneas, a Trojan survivor, shipwrecked on Carthage's shore due to Juno's interference, meeting Queen Dido, an exile from Tyre. Book 2 recounts Troy's fall, including the Trojan Horse stratagem and Aeneas' escape with his father Anchises and son Ascanius, losing his wife Creusa. The text emphasizes Aeneas' pietas (duty to gods, family, state). Divine rivalries, notably Juno's grudge from the Judgment of Paris and Venus' protection of Aeneas, drive the narrative. The Fagles translation includes maps and a glossary for accessibility. Ovid's Metamorphoses (David Raeburn's Translation): Composed around 8 CE, Metamorphoses is a 15-book poem chronicling transformations from creation to Ovid's era. Book 1 covers the creation of the cosmos from Chaos, the division into four elements (fire, water, earth, air), and humanity's decline from the Golden to Iron Age. It includes a flood narrative with Deucalion and Pyrrha and the story of Io, transformed into a cow by Jupiter to evade Juno. The Raeburn edition organizes vignettes with titled sections for clarity. The Portable Roman Reader (Basil Davenport, Ed.): Published in 1951, this anthology includes poetry from Rome's Republic, Augustan, and later Empire periods. Catullus (c. 60s–50s BCE) offers direct, personal verses, translated by Byron. Horace (65–8 BCE) writes complex, philosophical odes, less accessible due to style. Martial (c. 38–104 CE) provides epigrams on public life, including two elegies for a deceased young girl. Davenport's notes contextualize each era, and the anthology features prose by Livy, Caesar, and Tacitus for future study. Contextual Notes: The texts reflect Rome's engagement with Greek literary traditions, adapting gods' names (e.g., Hera to Juno) and themes. The course's schedule prioritizes rapid coverage to identify key works and connections.Takeaways:I loved this week so much! It felt great to come "home" to Rome.

There are some indelible scenes inscribed forever into the psyche of the West, and the death of Dido is one of them. When William Congreve wrote that "Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd," he surely had in mind this archetype of all scorned women, the tragic heroine who stands in for every abandoned lover and for an entire civilization. Aeneas--and Rome--must leave her ruthlessly in the dust. But no one knows how to guilt trip you like your ex, and no one knows how to remonstrate with Rome like Carthage. All the same, in the end...destiny awaits.

Did Dante think that the characters in Virgil's and Statius's poems were real? Did he believe that the characters who changed shape, being, and even substance in Ovid's METAMORPHOSES were actual and historical?This complicated questioning has no final answer . . . which means it can drive most of us modern, post-scientific-revolution people nuts?But it all goes back to Dante's relationship with his own primary text, the Bible? He didn't doubt its stories. Perhaps he didn't doubt other texts as quickly as we might.But he also didn't assign meaning quite as quickly as we do.Let's explore some answers to this thorny question: Did Dante think Aeneas, Dido, and other classical characters were real?

Send us a textActs 9:32-35Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda. There he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, who was paralyzed. And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed.” And immediately he rose. And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.Support the show

Peter's Ministry // The healing of Aeneas and raising of Tabitha reveal Christ's continued work through His servants to bring hope where life is broken.A study of the New Testament // Michael Crosswhite

I'm not saying that the catastrophe in Carthage could have been avoided. I'm just saying, everyone--the two main characters especially--behaved very badly. Now the deed is done, the nymphs are ululating, the "wedding"(?) announcements are out, and the gods are on the move to put a stop to all this. Which means Aeneas has some hard conversations he has to have and he...punts. Not his proudest moment. But instructive for us and as always, beautiful, timeless poetry. Enjoy!

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 9 Saul, later known as Paul, continues to pursue Christians to imprison them. On his way to Damascus, a light from heaven stops him. He hears Jesus speaking, asking why Saul is persecuting Him. Blinded, Saul is led into the city to wait for instructions. Meanwhile, God instructs Ananias to visit Saul and restore his sight. Despite his fear, Ananias obeys. Saul learns that he will become an apostle to the Gentiles. After regaining his sight, he is immediately baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit. Saul begins to preach boldly, prompting the Jews to seek to kill him. He escapes to Jerusalem, where Barnabas vouches for him. The chapter also recounts Peter healing Aeneas and raising Tabitha from the dead, demonstrating God's power and inspiring many new believers in Jesus.  Saul's story highlights the transformative power of Jesus Christ. His conversion shows that no one is beyond the call of the gospel. God often uses individuals like Ananias to fulfill His mission. We must confront our fears and seize opportunities to share God's hope with others. It is also inspiring to see Saul immediately active in sharing his faith. Some of the greatest passion for evangelism comes from new converts. We can learn a great deal from them. Like Barnabas, we should defend and support new believers to help God's people embrace them. Lastly, Tabitha was deeply missed and cherished for her charitable spirit. We should seek to be cherished servants among God's people, known for “deeds of kindness and charity.”  Glorious Father, we praise Your patience and relentless pursuit of sinners. You humbled and restored Saul, as You have done with us. We are living testaments to Your grace and love. Teach us to live with gratitude and to obey Your call to share Jesus with others, even when it feels risky or uncertain. Give us the spirit of vigor and the voice of joy to express our faith like those who are new in Christ. Please create an opportunity today to tell someone that You are the Healer, the Forgiver, and You have the power even to raise the dead! Thought Questions: -       What does Saul's conversion tell you about God's love? Saul committed to God out of gratitude. How powerful is gratitude in driving your faith? -       Barnabas defends Saul when others are fearful. How should you be like Barnabas when someone with a troubled past comes to Christ? -       Tabitha was treasured for her charitable deeds. When you pass from this life, how do you want to be remembered by the family of God?

Virgil, master of the setup, is now laying the groundwork for some of the Aeneid's major setpieces: the love affair with Dido, the voyage into the underworld. But first Aeneas has to pass a different milestone, one that people sometimes miss: he has to say goodbye to his father. It's one of the most human moments of the poem--something every single one of us has to go through--elevated to magisterial significance in the hero's journey. Follow along with us to the end of Book III as Aeneas enters a new stage in his adventure. Plus: a firsthand update from the Ivies after my trip to Ithaca to give a speech at Cornell.

It's time to embark on Book III of the Aeneid, and with it a mini-Odyssey. But there's a catch: Odysseus had home waiting for him at the end of all his wanderings. Aeneas has left home behind him, and he can never return. This episode is about why that's so important--for Virgil, for Augustus, for Rome at the dawn of its imperial age, and for America on the verge of its 250th birthday.

Speaking just for myself, I'm still not over Creusa. Aeneas' first wife, the woman who bore the future forefather of Rome's emperors, must stay behind to die in Troy while her family forges on ahead. Today we'll talk about why that has to be, what it says about the tragic cost of destiny for each of us, and how book II of Virgil's epic concludes.

When we first met Aeneas, he wished he could have died at Troy. Today, we find out why. By all accounts, the honorable thing to do would have been to go down with the burning citadel of his fathers. But this ain't your daddy's Iliad, and one thing we're learning is that honor and glory don't fetch quite the price they used to. If there's anyone who understands that it's Neoptolemus, AKA Pyrrhus, AKA Achilles' hellspawn, AKA the living wages of Greek decadence. It's not a pretty sight.

Don't take money...don't take fame...just takes a primordial deity whose powers of creation and destruction supervised the origins of the world, who is now divebombing straight at Dido's heart. What could go wrong? This extremely twisted Valentine's Day special will bring us to the end of The Aeneid, Book 1, which ends in blood-pumping fashion with a moment of extreme sexual tension. In the midst of which, Aeneas will be asked to relive the time his home got obliterated by a ruthless army of bloodthirsty Greeks. Fun! (No actually, it's fun.)

It's Aeneas and Dido: A Tale of Love and War. As we get into the first major episodes of Aeneas' journey, we embark upon an intricate composition of wheels within wheels--stories of carnage and battle interlocked with stories of desire, affection, and lust. From an explanation of ring composition via Harry Potter, to a Virgilian image that has changed poetry ever since, to a bonus segment on chiasmus and the clapper (you know, that thing you can use to turn your lights on and off) it's a jam-packed addition to our Aeneas series.

Who's that dime walking down the temple corridor? Is it Juno? Venus? Diana? Cleopatra? No, it's Dido, queen of Carthage and warrior princess of Tyre. In this episode, Virgil introduces one of literature's all-time greatest heroines, high on her throne but doomed to fall. She's demure...or is she? She's mother...or not? Whatever she is, she's always a woman to me. And to Aeneas, who at this point can't do much more than stare at her like a dope.  Use code HERETICS to get 20% off Field of Greens: fieldofgreens.com Order Light of the Mind, Light of the World (and rate it five stars): https://a.co/d/2QccOfM Subscribe to be in the mailbag: https://rejoiceevermore.substack.com  

Of all the gin joints on all the shores of the Mediterranean, Aeneas had to wash up onto this one. He doesn't know it yet, but this is Carthage: the home of what will become Rome's greatest rival and the ultimate obstacle in her rise to greatness. The genius of Virgil is how he tells us all that while also showing us what things looked like from Aeneas' vantage point--before the clash of civilizations was made manifest, and when the immediate point at issue was where to get something to eat.
