Clue of the Day
FYI, we don’t reveal the answer outright. You can hint at it if you want and it is okay to give possible wrong answers.
8-word Alert: Our comments show up on the homepage sidebar, so prefacing any hint with 8 non-hint words is the best practice.

1/3 correct answers. This one stumped me…
I’ll say 1/3, it took me about a minute to make the connection early this morning.
I never heard of this poet but the Latin name led me to the right city and its nickname.
That happened so fast, I’ll try 3/3.
The poet’s name and the time frame should make the city obvious. I think 2/3 will get it’s nickname.
