Publius Vergilius Maro, known as Virgil to most English-speaking places, was an ancient Roman poet and author who lived in the time of Augustus. Three of the most famous Latin poems were composed by him: the Eclogues (or Bucolics), the Georgics, and the epic the Aeneid. A number of minor poems, collected in a work known as teh Appendix Vergiliana, were attributed to him in ancient times, but nowadays many scholars doubt it.

Rome has traditionally been considered Rome's greatest poet, with his Aeneid being called the greatest Latin poem and a national epic (which I disagree with because it's way too derivative of the Odyssey, but whatever.)

The works of Virgil have had a wide influence in Western literature, most notably in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, in which he appears to guide Dante through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven.

"Now I'm a little Motivated!"- Virgil, presumably, after he realized he could simply rip off the Odyssey.

    We must hone our rhetorical edge on shitposting and struggle sessions. We must sharpen ourselves endlessly in pursuit of the final shape.
