Today’s new post recalls elements from Aeneas’s underworld journey in the Aeneid while expressing Joyce’s feelings at the death of his mother. See it and read more about it here.
This non-Latin poem is a skit on the nursery rhyme, “Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross” by James Joyce who wrote it to promote a chapter that he was publishing of Finnegans Wake – Anna Livia Plurabelle is Dublin’s river Liffey personified. Joyce belongs on Pantheon Poets for his debt to Homer, and if you do not know this little piece, I think you will like it.
