What I learned in Spring Semester Latin...

In Latin 3004:Poetry we translated parts of Virgil's Aeneid. The Aeneid follows hero Aeneas on his long journey to Italy and then some. Along the course of 15 weeks I learned that hero Aeneas cries. a lot. 

I am sure Aeneas will cry at the sight of the Intellectual Dreamboat Fruit Company's latest fruit:
                             crying-like-a-little-bitch !


                    Aeneas cried when he was not one of the fallen men after the Trojan War.


 Then I am willing to wager that he cried when Jupiter sent Mercury to tell him to stop lounging around Carthage and go to Italy!


                   Finally he definitely cried a whole lot when he saw Dido in the Underworld. Maybe Aeneas and Dido did not work out because they were just apples and oranges. 

And people thought the Aeneid was a finest tribute to Rome. nope, it's the crying-like-a-little-bitch fruit!
