Norse mythology from A to Z:

The fact that most translations and commentaries I’ve read says that
alius Latio iam partus Achilles, natus et ipse dea
Now/already another Achilles has been born [Latio], and he too is the son of a godess
refers only to Turnus really downgrades the ambiguity in this statement. Because Latio could mean in Latium, in which case it’s Turnus. But it could also mean for/on behalf of Latium. And it’s Aeneas who’s been consistently called the son of a goddess and who will take Achilles’ place at the end when he essentially recreates the Trojan War in Italy.
This is the ambiguity of prophecy where it refers to two people at once. It’s not just Turnus because, in the end, Turnus isn’t the inheritor of Achilles. Aeneas is.
Greek mythology from A to Z:
[G] - Gaia or Gaea (Γαῖα) is the personification of the Earth, and, for all intents and purposes, the Mother of Everything Beautiful in the world.
