This edition of Virgil's famed epic poem, which chronicles the
journeys and adventures of the Spartan Aeneas, features the
respected translation of J.W. Mackail. In the poem, we first hear a
retelling of Aeneas exploits in Troy. After he concludes these
battles, he makes his way across Greece, Sicily and even the
Underworld, encountering all manner of adventures along the way.
His daring treks across Europe eventually result in Aeneas bringing
a large cohort of his fellow Trojans to settle in Italy where they
engage in war. It is here that Aeneas encounters his final nemesis,
Turnus, whereby his adventures crescendo to their final conclusion.
A classic of Roman literature, The Aeneid explains how Aeneas
became the genetic progeny of the Roman Empire. Bravery and martial
prowess were characteristics prized by Ancient Rome, and it is in
the Aeneid that the profound admiration for aspects of fighting
prowess first displayed in Greece are expressed.
