More about the book

The narrative follows Aeneas, a Trojan hero who escapes the fall of Troy and journeys to Italy, ultimately becoming an ancestor of the Romans. The poem is divided into twelve books, with the first six detailing his wanderings and the latter half focusing on the Trojans' conflict with the Latins. Virgil weaves together myth and history, transforming Aeneas's fragmented tales into a cohesive national epic that highlights Roman virtues and connects Rome's origins to Troy. Recognized as Virgil's masterpiece, it stands as a pinnacle of Latin literature.
