Or Dido complains to her confidante because Virgil has spoiled her reputation by a wholly
unsatisfactory and anachronistic affair with a [166]
lucian's creditors and debtors
passe lover some two hundred and fifty years her senior.

Word:

complains

Question:

Why is Dido's affair with a lover considered unsatisfactory and anachronistic due to the age difference of two hundred and fifty years?

Answer (optional):

Dido's affair with a lover is considered unsatisfactory and anachronistic due to the age difference of two hundred and fifty years because it is a significant gap in time that makes the affair seem unrealistic and implausible. The relationship must have occurred between people who lived in vastly different historical periods, highlighting the absurd and fictional nature of their connection. This is meant to be amusing, but it is also a critique of the believability of such a scenario.
