Talk:Drusilla (sister of Caligula)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"...She died on June 10, 38, reportedly from loss of blood during anal sex...."
What is the source of this information?
-- I agree with the above question.
There is no source for the above quote in the ancient histories. Spurious entry has been deleted.
"In an account given by Suetonius, Drusilla became pregnant with Caligula's child, and in a panic he disembowelled her, believing that the child of their union was divine and so represented a threat to his throne."
There is no such account in Suetonius. Someone is taking I, Claudius a little too seriously.
[edit] Link to Artist/song
I read this article seeking some insight into a song lyric. The line appears in the song "We're so Heavy" by artist Matthew Good, on his latest album "White Light Rock and Roll Review". The line reads: "How can you love Jove, Drusilla, and forsake Rome?" If anyone could give me some indication of the relationship between Drusilla and Jove (Jupiter), and how she historically did/could have 'forsaken' Rome, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
[edit] "Diva"
The link to "Diva" directs to the base page for "Diva" (aka female singer) and even after checking the disambiguation page, there's no proper entry for Diva (divinity) at all. The best I can come up with in existance at the moment might be the Goddess page or the disambiguation for Ascension.
I'm not sure I can find any wikipedia entries for "generic" ascension at all (i.e. a general entry for endowment with godhood) and am tempted to start an article...
