Buchbeschreibung

"The Æneid of Virgil" by Virgil is a Latin epic poem, written between 29 and 19 BC. The recital is about the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who fled the fall of Troy and traveled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans. It comprises 9,896 lines in dactylic hexameter. The first six of the poem's twelve books tell the story of Aeneas' wanderings from Troy to Italy, and the poem's second half tells of the Trojans' ultimately victorious war upon the Latins, under whose name Aeneas and his Trojan followers are destined to be subsumed. The poetry is packed with human feelings, passion, drama, and universal pathos.
