The Aeneid

by Robert Fitzgerald, Virgil, David West
$9.90
The Aeneid
The Aeneid

Epic journey of Roman mythological hero Aeneas.

Delving into "The Aeneid" is like uncovering the mythical roots of ancient Rome through the eyes of Aeneas, its hero. This vintage classic isn’t just about heroic adventures; it’s about the founding principles and the destiny that shapes a civilization. With its grand scale and poetic finesse, Virgil's work here is both a historical capsule and a timeless narrative that echoes the complexities of duty and destiny.

Description

The Aeneid – thrilling, terrifying and poignant in equal measure – has inspired centuries of artists, writers and musicians. Virgil’s epic tale tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero, who flees his city after its fall, with his father Anchises and his young son Ascanius – for Aeneas is destined to found Rome and father the Roman race. As Aeneas journeys closer to his goal, he must first prove his worth and attain the maturity necessary for such an illustrious task. He battles raging storms in the Mediterranean, encounters the fearsome Cyclopes, falls in love with Dido, Queen of Carthage, travels into the Underworld and wages war in Italy.
