Aeneid Of Virgil

Aeneid of Virgil

by Virgil

The Aeneid, a twelve-book epic poem by Virgil, recounts the journey of Aeneas, a Trojan hero, after the fall of Troy. Driven by fate and the gods, Aeneas embarks on a perilous voyage to Italy, where he is destined to found a new nation. The poem explores themes of love, loss, duty, and the divine will as Aeneas faces numerous challenges and temptations, including a passionate encounter with the Queen of Carthage, Dido. The Aeneid's enduring power lies in its intricate plot, vivid characters, and exploration of the forces that shape human destiny, all within the framework of classical mythology and Roman history.
