There is a type of bee (or well, types) called the 'vulture bee'. It derives its diet from carrion, which is why it was probably named that. Therefore, since bees make honey we can presume that the honey these bees make is derived from meat. Therefore, meat honey exists. A bonus fact is that they use the same gland to produce this meat honey as bees tend to use that gland to create royal jelly (plus, they are stingless!).

Having translated Virgil in high school and later read the fully translated version of the Aeneid in my freshman year of college, I can safely say that he was easier than a lot of other writers/orators. The only person easier to translate and read is Caesar, but that is kind of the point since he is trying to make it accessible to as many people as possible including farmers. Horace is more difficult for me to translate, and Cicero’s Pro Caelio remains one of the most migraine inducing things to translate.

This Georgics that Virgil is most fascinating! I had never heard of it prior but based on your description, I am immediately stuck by how Virgil combined seemingly unrelated fields of study and art into a consolidated final product! He mixed practical farming with government WITH poetry! That is astounding and polymath in nature! I feel as though the greatest creators and the smartest thinkers are those who excel not in their separated fields but those who excel in multiple fields and are enlightened enough to bridge all these fields together as a definitive product. These are the true geniuses, the ones who can see beyond specific the separations and relate the seemingly unrelated subjects. Even rarer amongst these geniuses are those can successfully communicate this commonality to the masses so they can see the connectivity as well! And when these geniuses create something, their work is infinitely layered since it can be understood from a multitude of different angles and applied to multiple different fields! Grasping the commonalities between seemingly unrelated subjects gives credence that there is a higher truth where everything is connected. I have always been partial to idealism, so I personally find this thought of everything (and by proxy everyone) being connected, related, and united _very_ comforting indeed! It's almost as if there is a "Force" that binds all living things and hold the galaxy at large together. Then again, there just might be. 😉

Rather courteous of you, Blue, to put this out right as I’ve been reading The Aeneid as my non-school read (on Book 5-6 this weekend). I appreciate your mindfulness ;) Fun anecdote: In her 70s, Ursula K. Le Guin had the sudden epiphany “You know, I’ve never read The Aeneid in the original Latin. I should do that.” And do she Drummer up her old Latin training, got a dictionary, and went one stanza a day until she’d finished it. Then she wrote Lavinia, her final novel (which, admittedly, I haven’t yet read, but will soon).

Man was such a perfectionist he would die of heatstroke in his attempts to perfect his last epic. Truly his motivation knew no bounds.

This is great! The Aeneid often gets overshadowed by the Iliad and the Odyssey, but it's the one closest to my heart because it was basically what my entire four years of high school Latin built up towards.

Excellent video as always, Blue! One thing I think is really interesting about Vergil is that he is emblematic of one of Rome's defining qualities, the way it absorbs other cultures and populations into itself. A professor that I TAed for talked about how the name Vergilius is not Latin in origin, but Celtic, which makes sense given him and his family were from the formerly Celtic Cisalpine Gaul. So, like, Rome's greatest poet was a Romanized Celt.

It feels very weird to hear my name said over and over... HOWEVER, I will be using "virgil slaps harder than a roman legion with a paddle board." And "virgil is best boy" as anti self depreciation for some time.

"Motivated" is a meme because Vergil is the name of one of the characters in a video game (Devil May Cry), and one of his well-known quotes has to do with motivation

@@leonardorolingstella8554 Ahhh, thank you!

Virgil wrote all of this while sitting in a plastic lawnchair

My favorite thing about virgil was the part where he beats the shit out of his son and brother to avoid paying taxes

i literally only knew who virgil was because of dantes inferno so thanks this helps

Alright get your swords ready, the VIRGIL memes are coming. Edit: Just want to also say, thanks for covering this fascinating bit of history, Blue, sorry the memes are probably going to outnumber everything else soon.

I don't think I can overstate how difficult it is for me to resist making a DMC joke.

Vergil to the works of his time: I AM THE STORM THAT IS A APPROACHING!

I feel MOTIVATED!

My favorite Virgil story was when his son said fuck you and slammed his ghost back into him

In school, I was the only one who studied classical civilisation. It was lonely but I still loved every bit of it, from the myths to the Roman/Greek history. It is also how I found this channel all the way back in 2015! As for the Aeneid, I distinctly remember the many pages dedicated to Aeneas relentlessly chasing Turnus until he killed him. A great piece of work.

I love that time when he was the storm that is approaching

You could say he was the storm that is approaching.

as soon as i saw the video title i heard "bury the light deep within"

I think the thing that got me to stick with learning Latin for 3 years compared to the 1 year of French in high school was the fact that translating the Aeneid was way more interesting than trying to translate random bits of conversation. Sure, it's a dead language that I don't actually get to use if I travel somewhere, but it was hella fun to do. This was a nice reminder of one of my favorite high school classes.

I'm motivated to watch this video. Put your DMC references here.

Also the phonemic vowel length of Classical Latin really makes Latin poetry and prose flow very nicely. It kinda sucks how much Latin literature gets slept on. Oh and my favourite bee fact, is that sometimes bees will sleep in flowers with others from their hive, and they hold feet. It's adorable.

Glad to see the Georgics mentioned! My sister went to the oldest university of agrarian sciences in our country, galled Georgikon after the Georgics (and also cos the first name of the founder is our language's version of George) so it's always nice to hear about them.

Hey blue, just letting you know i almost never do this with other creators but you've been singing Virgil's praises for so long i can only imagine this translation has to be the best available so i know i HAVE TO read it haha. So I'm following the link and buying the book! Please keep up the hard work, Blue!

Very nice, Dante's senpai in the Dante's inferno

This is a certified Arma Virumque Cano moment.

Years ago Red made her scathing retelling of the Aenaeid and here is Blue loving it for 12 minutes. It's poetry.

For those interested in the Aeneas story, there is a movie duology about him, composed of the 1961 film "The Trojan War" (in which he appears as a supporting character) and its 1962 sequel "The Avenger" (this time as the protagonist). In both installments, he is played by Steve Reeves.

“I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING…”

If Virgil consolidated the latin language, Dante knew exactly what he was about to do with Italian.

I laughed very loudly at "Don't worry guys, we have a robust theatrical tradition." - It was the word 'robust' that did it.

One of my favorite things in my pantheon of classics street cred is my t-shirt that loudly proclaims 'Virgil Wrote Fanfic'. It's an assertion I stand by.
