Gladiator II (2024) by Ridley Scott
Hanno recites some verses upon Caracalla's request of commenting the fight he's just won.
The original verses are from Book VI (126-129) of Aeneid: they're part of a prophecy Aeneas receives from the Cumaean Sybil, priestess presiding over the Apollonian oracle at Cumae, near Naples
Facilis descensus Averno;
Noctes atque dies patet atri ianua Ditis;
Sed revocare
Gradum superasque evadere ad auras,
Hoc opus, hic labor est
The English translation is
Easy is the descent to Avernus;
Night and day the door of gloomy Dis stands open;
But to recall
One's steps and pass out to the upper air,
This is the task, this is the toil
Dante Alighieri took the concept of Dis (originally Pluto, the god presiding Avernus, the pagan afterlife) and used it as a synonym for Lucifer; as a matter of fact, the lowest part of hell in the Divina Commedia is called "città di Dite" (city of Dis), in opposition to "città di Dio", that is Heaven.

Non mi volsi indietro accorgendomi di averla perduta, né le prestai attenzione.

«Macte animo» «Coraggio!» Virgilio, Eneide, IX, 641
Questa bellissima parola la troviamo in un passo incantevole dell’Eneide: “Macte nova virtute puer, sic itur ad astra.”, tradotto letteralmente: “Coraggio, fanciullo, è così che si arriva alle stelle!”
Si tratta della lode e dell’esaltazione che Apollo fece della Gens lulia attraverso lulo, figlio di Enea, che nello scontro con i Rutuli uccise Numano.

i get to a certain point with interests where if someone tells me they Hate it i'm like hell yeah brother live your truth. while if i meet someone who likes it i need to tell them to kill themselves
#this isnt my fault its that everytime i get into something thats 'pop culture' the internet forces me to see the worst takes on it#the problem with pop culture is exactly that like im way lesss likely to see bad takes about literary classics bc#Bozo. 20 years old from the usa who graduated by never opening a book in his life is not on twitter spouting bullshit about the eneid. obv#a

Barbari
“In pochi a nuoto arrivammo qui sulle vostre spiagge.
Ma che razza di uomini è questa? Quale patria permette un costume così barbaro, che ci nega perfino l’ospitalità della sabbia; che ci dichiara guerra e ci vieta di posarci sulla vicina terra?”
• Virgilio, Eneide

"Dido pulled out of her chest a sword covered in flames, the same sword that Aeneas had left behind while fleeing in disgrace from her palace in Carthage." 🔴🔴🔴 One of the illustrations I did for @ratatafestival Watercolor on paper

«Ab imo pectore» dal profondo del petto, del cuore
L'espressione si trova in Virgilio, ad indicare il profondo dolore che sembra far sgorgare le lacrime, i gemiti e le parole dal più profondo del cuore.
