because I had added the much neglected works of Hesiod and Ennius to the school curriculum, those routine minds promptly attributed to me the desire to dethrone Homer, and the gentle Virgil as well (whom nevertheless I was always quoting).
esate baterako, eskoletako programetan sarraraziak nituen atzera berriz Hesiodo eta Ennioren obrak, nire ustez lar baztertuak baitzeuden bidegabeki; bada, berehalaxe, gizon ohikerizale kaxkar haiek zera egotzi zidaten, Homero erraldoia eta Virgilio gardena-haiek ere hitzetik hortzera aipatzen nituen arren-destronatzeko gogoa nuela, alegia.
