#😵‍💫#is he dead or alive?#is he hector?#he isn't it's over #this essay is crazy #andromache literally lives in the past with the dead #she sort of lives in the past in the iliad too #when she tells hector she's soon to be his widow #i imagine vergil was interested by her foresight #but for aeneas the past is lost again and again #the amount of times aeneas loses troy and trojan identity in the aeneid #🔨🔨🔨#aeneid
