Seen that post about Odysseus being naked when the fight with the suitors starts ?

Well, in the same vein, Vergil, in the first Georgic, literally says that, as a farmer, you should work naked when it’s too hot outside

(Plough naked, sow naked)

And I think that’s beautiful

reblogging this again because i discovered vergil here is reprising hesiod (works and days l. 391-392):

(sow naked, plough naked, reap naked)

and it’s beautiful because this is truly the intertextuality that matters

This is the most cursed tag someone ever put under one of my posts thanks

Youre welcome dear…
