The Aeneid

Book • 19
The Aeneid, written by Virgil between 29 and 19 BC, is a monumental work of classical literature.

It follows the journey of Aeneas, a Trojan hero, as he navigates from the ruins of Troy to Italy, where he is destined to found the city of Lavinium, a precursor to Rome.

The poem is divided into 12 books, with the first six detailing Aeneas' wanderings and the second six describing the war in Italy against the Latins.

The epic incorporates various legends and mythological elements, glorifying traditional Roman virtues and legitimizing the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

It explores themes such as duty, fate, and the relationship between the individual and society, and has had a profound influence on Western literature.
