The Aeneid, by old Virgil  
having chosen to diverge  
points to omens that the Romans  
(who by then are quite a scourge)  
are descended from Aeneas  
and proclaims it from the dais  
later, Romulus and Remus  
having grown up in extremis  
will have started ancient Rome  
Virgil calling it his home

Homer gives us fewer details  
of Aeneas' tale  
Hector's cousins by the dozens  
some would live and others fail  
should the Iliad have really  
added this -- it would ideally --  
had it made such a prediction  
then the claims of "just fan fiction"  
wouldn't hound the old Aeneid  
but for now, they do indeed
