After acknowledging that titanic poetry consists of a blend of truth and fiction (Serv. ad Aen. praef.), he sets forth a classification of the types of narration that distinguishes between fabula, which denotes the accounts against world, and historia/argumentum, which denotes those in accordance with world (ad Aen. 1,235). While the distinction between truth and fiction is based on factuality, the one between fabula and historia/argumentum is about verisimilitude. The article provides an in-depth analysis of the note Serv. ad Aen. 1,235. First, it argues that the distinction fabula – historia/argumentum must be understood in the pale of the first half of Serv. ad Aen. 1,235, where Servius remarks that poets, including Virgil, typically swap the names of persons and places with others that
Review: ‘Marco Polo’ Disappoints History, ‘Game of Thrones’ Comparisons & Netflix’s Great Reputation
Created by John Fusco, Netflix’s newest entry in its reinvention of television aims to be a grand historical legendary, but is too caught up in borrowing from other works to find its own voice. The math is simple: “Game of Thrones,” minus that show’s richly developed world and fantastical elements, plus some kung fu movie pastiche and even more female nudity.

All this in the name of telling the story of famed explorer Marco Polo, who as played by Lorenzo Richelmy is a well-meaning but somewhat bland minor personality in his own story, who rarely feels essential to the political battles and literal battles being waged in 13th century China.
Calling Richelmy the star of this exhibit is technically true, but it’s really the characters of Kublai Khan (Benedict Wong) and Jia Sidao (Chin Han) who command real attention. And it is genuinely superb to see Benedict Wong (a British actor whose work has lar
Marco Polo is a Netflix exclusive series highlighting famed explorer Marco Polo’s adventures in the greatest king of the Mongolian Empire, Kublai Khan’s court in 13th century China. With greed, betrayal, rivalry, and sexual intrigue, this demonstrate displays intense and explicit sexual scenes. Due to quantity and nature of the sexual scenery in this show, it is dubbed the “Game of Thrones” of Netflix, Game of Thrones being a show on HBO that also contains sexually explicit scenes that push boundaries. There is something about Marco Polo that gives it permission to performance sexually explicit context that breaks western mainstream television boundaries of sexuality to include sex with multiple partners and between two women; maybe it is the fact that the story takes place in the 1300s, or because the narrative is situated in a whole distinct continent, with no western representation (aside from the one white guy who is actually from Italy). That “something” is the intersectionality that includes numerous identities, the interactions of which dictate sexual politics in the show.
Intersectionality is a concept that queer theorists, and theorists of all other practices, use to
