In the year 19 BCE, amidst working on his epic poem Aeneid, Virgil left his home and birthplace of Italy :AyyyyyOC: to visit Greece.

On the way back home he caught fever and died.

If Virgil had never left Italy, the world would be blessed with more great poetry today. Didn't Virgil know the dangers presented by global travel and pandemics? Was his brain too filled with spaghetti?

Why did Virgil leave? Why? I guess we'll never know. :deeper-sadness:
