My real name is not Scylla (maybe)

I enjoy all manner of classic literature and history. I'll be posting about the books I'm reading plus poetry and prose I write. Also, check out my substack for longer form writing.

Reading through the Aeneid. Really love Aeneas. Really hate Achilles. Will always love Odysseus unfortunately. Justice for Dido.
