About this book
"The Aeneid of Virgil" by Virgil is a Latin epic poem written between 29 and 19 BC. It tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero who flees the fall of Troy and journeys to Italy, where he will become the ancestor of the Romans. The poem spans twelve books: the first six chronicle his perilous wanderings across the Mediterranean, while the latter six depict a brutal war in Latium. Virgil weaves together myth and history to create Rome's founding epic. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
