Dido and Aeneas in a cave as hounds and horses race through the storm, with winged Rumour overhead

AP® Latin · Aeneid 4.74–89, 165–197

Love and Rumour

Amor et Fāma

Dido cannot stop thinking of Aeneas, and the towers of Carthage stand unfinished. On the day of the hunt a storm drives the two of them into the same cave, and Rumour, with an eye under every feather, flies through the cities of Libya.

An AP® Latin escape room on Vergil's Aeneid, Dido's love, the cave and Fama, 4.74–89 and 4.165–197, using the passage's own vocabulary: a crossword, anagrams, a Latin cipher, deponent verbs, a picture count, an odd-one-out story and a final rebus.
