In our class' recent daily explorations of Vergil's Aeneid, the kiddies (read: me) are very interested in the role of the Roman gods in their quest to hinder/postpone/play with 'fate'. This topic has led us to ask what role fate and free will (or maybe....theology?) have in our own lives.
Or maybe it isn't Vergil at all who is sparking this debate, but rather the man behind the curtain:

hmm. Of course, Aeneas' ultimate fate was never ultimately changed, but he did need a swift kick in the pants every now and then (now and again?) to get him goin towards that fate. Don't we all?
