"Were thou born in earthly nest,
be thy parents doubly blest"
:07:09
- "blest thy brethren"...
- "A man of value,"
:07:12
"and a man of wit."

To hear Homer's verse
from a young maid's lips...
:07:25
Our boy has a Greek tutor.
:07:28
She listens to their lessons.
:07:32
They say,
:07:34
the key to happiness
is sharing the gods' desires.
:07:38
But I suspect the existence
:07:42
of a different and greaterjoy,
:07:45
that only love
:07:48
may bring.
:07:55
Gods seek thatjoy,
:07:58
so...
:08:01
I follow them,
but having not known love,
:08:04
I also seek the one
who would make me happy.
:08:10
Can't you guess
why I'm telling this to you?
:08:15
I cannot.
:08:25
How different is your world
from the one ruled by our Nero.
:08:30
The world is ruled by God,
not Nero.
:08:34
You believe in the gods, Pomponia?
:08:37
I believe in one God,
:08:39
who is just and almighty.
:08:48
She believes in one almighty God.
:08:52
I do not. I agree that each woman
has three or four souls.
:08:58
None of them reasonable.
