A taster to whet your appetite for my forthcoming novel 'House of the Red Flame', concerning the fall of Troy (details to follow). A Karpaia was a archaic trial of battle, a mock fight between a farmer, son of toil and a robber, who comes to despoil.

A sonnet from Aeneas to Helen of Troy, on fate and burning cities.

Aeneas is getting ready to leave Carthage. But not if Scintilla can stop it!

This story reveals in detail the consequences of Aeneas's departure from the city of Carthage.

Dido's rage as she is left behind by Aeneas.

Dido's final message to Aeneas is sent through her sister, Anna, whom Dido describes as "the one woman Aeneas trusts." What if there was more to Anna and Aeneas' conversation than we see in the Aeneid itself? What if Dido's sister was Aeneas' one chance at a fate not dictated by the gods? Written while I was in Latin class, so I tried when possible to make it sound like the Latin.

A modern take on the Dido Episode of the Aeneid, originally written for my Classical Studies Senior Seminar. Adam and Danielle find themselves in a situation not unlike that of Aeneas and Dido.

What would happen is Lavinia realised that it she alone had the power over the Roman race, and in being the crux of the story, what would then happen, if for instance, she chose neither Aeneas or Turnus. This is my take on the ending of book 12. In for a penny, in for a pound, and maybe some Turnus/Dido

So a cat named Fawnzoe Manawnzoe stumbles across a she-cat named Angel who he falls in love with. They go on many adventures. There are many Spanish words in here so look it up on Google Translate! More stories coming soon...

Here is a little bit more on the background of Dido, and why she chose to kill herself. Warning: Does contain suicide and a bit (a lot) of blood! Do not read if even remotely squeamish! Keep in mind this could be rated M for the suicide part

Her story was never told. Until now.

"She died, not at her fated span nor as she merited, but before her time..." Dido is dead, and Olympus reacts. Marriage can be strained both on earth and in heaven.

Vergil died while writing The Aeneid, so it's considered by historians as unfinished. Did Vergil intend to end the way he did? No one knows, but this is my interpretation of how book thirteen would have gone.

Aeneid AU possibility from book IV. What if Aeneas had stayed? How would that affect history?
