It made taking care of the bibliography so much easier. I just load the works into the program, and once they are there and it's linked to word, inserting a citation inline or in a fn also creates a wc, organized and formats it.

Do you use Zotero or something like that? It's been pretty helpful for me.

Not so much about him, though he does give up vengeance on Helen to save his family and assure a future for his people. He has to see the true nature of his reality before he can do so. He gives up love for the same reason. Mostly it's the melancholy and sense of loss in Vergil's poetry.
