Description
The Aeneid is a masterpiece of Latin poetry, written by Virgil in the 1st century BC. This revised edition brings together Virgil's perfect hexameters in a single volume, offering a glimpse into the mind of one of Rome's greatest poets. The Aeneid is a work of great ambition, drawing on a range of influences from Greek and Roman literature, philosophy, and learning. It tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero who travels to Italy and becomes the ancestor of the Roman people. This epic poem is a deeply Roman work, shaped by the politics and culture of Virgil's time. First published after Virgil's death, the Aeneid has been a source of inspiration for countless readers and writers over the centuries. This edition, part of the Loeb Classical Library, presents Virgil's work in its original form, offering a unique insight into the poet's vision and artistic skill.
