"Is this what the Queen of Carthage was really thinking when she saw her lover sailing off into the horizon?
Probably not".
 
I think there are some interesting fascinations, even if the target is very commercial.
This sentence is interesting:
"And I won't put my hands up and surrender".
 
There are other songs of Dido inspired by Virgil's Dido, but this subject is not very important: a huge amount of stories are inspired by Virgil, yesterday and today.
He stays as the main source of western thought.
