relatable deaths from ancient times

chrysippus: died laughing at his own joke

zeuxis: died laughing at his own art

plato: partied too hard

empedocles: jumped into a volcano to prove that he was immortal

philitas of cos: was such an incredible pedant that he wasted away while studying erroneous word usage

saint lawrence: roasted alive during christian persecution under valerian, joked that he was done on one side and needed to be flipped over

didius julianus: purchased the roman empire in an auction, ruled for 9 weeks, executed for being ineffective leader

I'm the Aeneid, with just a smidge of Cicero

tag yourself: ancient roman literature

the aeneid

does their best but constantly fucks up

walking anxiety attack

just wants to go home

the poetry of catullus

constantly makes ‘greedy bisexual’ jokes about themself

always either crying or screaming

has at least 10 playlists dedicated to their bad breakups

cicero’s orations

never shuts up

really smart but also really smug

saltier than the dead sea

horace’s odes

party hoe and proud

always talking about death

gets angry about literally everything but forgets about it in like 3 minutes

ovid’s metamorphosis

myth hoe

into pictures of ancient statues with pastel filters

probably a little bit furry

the satyricon

gay and makes sure everyone knows it

70% weird aesthetic posts, 20% porn, 10% weird aesthetic porn

sends texts at 4 am that make absolutely no sense

martial’s epigrams

mean and proud

walking disaster

has dirt on literally everyone

the lives of the 12 caesars

god tier bullshitter

never stops gossiping

fact check? don’t know her
