“To the moon, Poppaea” doesn’t have the same ring to it . . .

There was also the poem written by Seneca 50 years after Claudius died, “The pumpkinification of the God Claudius” but it aint exactly historically accurate;)

From the snippets in the article, it sounds like a touching story, beautifully told. The Greeks (and their Roman imitators) were the masters of this art. A beautiful woman dies young, and is installed in heaven as a goddess, where she is reunited with her two dead children, only to pine for the company of her husband, whom she watches over from the North Pole. Expect a Hallmark movie any day now.

I hope Valeria Messalina became a goddess. I always liked her!
