Logical Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 How much is myth and how much if fact? I recently took a tour of ancient Carthage in Tunisia and the tour guide was a historian and she spoke of Dido/Alyssa in a very matter of fact way. I had always thought that Dido was simply a legend. Now after visiting this wonderful place I'm more confused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclogite Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 My impression, after reading the Wikipedia article, is that what you heard was likely 90% + myth and <10% fact. Remember that the function of the tour guide is very much more to entertain than to educate. That will naturally colour the spin they put on what they are saying. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dido_%28Queen_of_Carthage%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
