so do u guys remember 'a sudden rainfall forces them under a canopy'? and how that was crowleys whole plan to make the lesbians fall in love which is funny beacuse when they first met he took shelter under aziraphales wing in eden?
I was reading Virgils Aeneid book 4 where the gods come up with a plan to force the queen Dido and Aeneas together on a hunting trip. They cause a rainstorm which causes them to shelter in a cave where Juno comes down and marries them together, and they consecrate there marriage. Nice right? Well, the whole symbolism of Dido is that she is the embodiment of lust/passion - to the romans 'furor' (basically the ultimate sin of Augustan Rome) - and she is a mechanism for the machinations of Juno to stall Aeneas from completing his duty and founding Troy. And it's fate that he has to do this, its his destiny. Dido is stopping him from fulfilling his duty.
do you guys think crowley just a sin that Aziraphale thought stopped him from carrying out his duty to the destiny god layed out - the ineffable plan. so he left him just like Aeneas left Dido when he acknowledged his fate.
