About this listen
Welcome back to Let's Dig Deeper!
On this special episode from the Athens recordings, I'm talking with philologist Tue Søvsø about some of the most famous Roman poets - Catullus, Vergil and Ovid. We're gonna talk about:
⭐ Why Ovid was exiled by the emperor Augustus
⭐ How Vergils Aeneid became Romes national epic
⭐ Whether Catullus ever really showed himself in his poems - or if it was just a persona
And more! So make sure you tune in to the full episode, and remember to rate/review the podcast 5 stars (and if you REALLY like it - share the episode with a friend! :-) )
This is the 9th episode out of 10 for this very first season of Let's Dig Deeper - stay tuned for the next episode, which will be all about Plato
