Modern Dido strives to be as fearsome as her namesake, the legendary Queen Dido of Carthage, but she’s troubled by unexplained chronic pain, and her Aeneas is not a lover but a gynecologist. Filtering a life-long pursuit of diagnosis through Vergil’s Aeneid, Dido brandishes a wonky speculum aloft and demands answers from the gods.
