Description
The Aeneid tells the story of Aeneas, a survivor of the siege of Troy. As he embarks on a journey that takes him through battles and the underworld, Aeneas is driven by themes of piety, respect, destiny, war, and peace.
At the heart of this epic tale are the city of Rome and its empire, as well as a host of gods and goddesses who shape Aeneas's path. From his encounters with Dido to his ultimate arrival in Rome, The Aeneid is a rich and complex exploration of human experience.
This translation by Everyman's Library brings Virgil's masterpiece to life, offering a fresh and nuanced reading of one of the greatest works of ancient literature.
