Description
Virgil's Aeneid II: A Selection is an OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin AS and A-Level prescriptions of Virgil's Aeneid Book 2. This selection includes full Latin text, commentary, and vocabulary, along with a detailed introduction that covers the prescribed material to be read in English for A Level. Book II of Virgil's Aeneid tells the story of how Troy fell and how Aeneas escaped with his family and city's gods. The narrative is relayed in retrospect by Aeneas as a refugee at the court of Queen Dido in Carthage, covering the book's first two thirds: the Wooden Horse episode and its chaotic aftermath. Supporting resources are available on the Companion Website.
