About The Aeneid
"The Aeneid" by Virgil is a Latin epic poem written between 29 and 19 BC. It follows Aeneas, a Trojan hero who flees the fall of Troy and journeys to Italy, where he becomes the ancestor of the Romans. The first half chronicles his perilous wanderings across the Mediterranean, while the second depicts a brutal war against the Latins. Virgil transforms ancient legends into Rome's founding myth, connecting the empire to Troy's glory and legitimizing Roman power through divine ancestry and traditional virtues.
