I’ve been trying to track down the history of my first name forever.  I’d heard that it was based in mythology or from one of Homer’s (not Simpson) writings.  A recent Google search found that my name shows up primarily in Virgil’s “The Aeneid”.  Oh valiant warrior that I was, I tried to take on the prince, but alas tragedy strikes.

Now Turnus leads his troops without delay,
Advancing to the margin of the sea.
The trumpets sound: Aeneas first assail’d
The clowns new-rais’d and raw, and soon prevail’d.
Great Theron fell, an omen of the fight;
Great Theron, large of limbs, of giant height.
He first in open field defied the prince:
But armor scal’d with gold was no defense
Against the fated sword, which open’d wide
His plated shield, and pierc’d his naked side.

So now I know the rest of the story.
