"The Aeneid of Virgil" by Virgil is a Latin epic poem written between 29 and 19 BC. It follows Aeneas, a Trojan hero who flees burning Troy and journeys toward Italy, where he is destined to become the ancestor of Romans. The first half chronicles his dangerous wanderings across the Mediterranean, while the second half depicts a brutal war for control of Latium. Virgil transforms scattered legends into Rome's founding myth, connecting the empire to Troy's glory and legitimizing Roman virtues and dynasty. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
