Abstract

fading from most political, cultural and economic minds since it is more than one generation since a knowledge of Latin, so long the first qualification for arrival into power in Europe, diminished into a forgotten and deprecated skill of those who once were? Satirists may have labelled Trump ‘Il Douche’ but it is hard to see his aggressive/pessimistic MAGAism as much prompted by his reflection on Virgil and the classics. In gazing at Hell’s remarkable book, am I in reality observing a ruin of two millennia of classicists’ intellectuality, now to be surpassed by AI and a genuinely globalized world which may or may not save itself from environmental calamity?
