Description
The Aeneid of Virgil is a classic epic poem that tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero who journeys to Italy and becomes the ancestor of the Roman people. Written by the ancient Roman poet Virgil, The Aeneid is considered one of the greatest works of Western literature and has been influential in shaping the literary traditions of Europe and the Americas.The poem is divided into twelve books, each of which tells a different part of Aeneas' journey. The first six books describe his travels from Troy to Italy, while the last six books focus on the war between Aeneas and the native Italian tribes. Along the way, Aeneas encounters various obstacles and challenges, including storms at sea, battles with monsters, and a love affair with the Carthaginian queen Dido.Throughout the poem, Virgil explores themes of fate, duty, and the relationship between the individual and society. He also draws on the mythology and history of ancient Rome, weaving in references to figures such as Julius Caesar and Augustus.This particular edition of The Aeneid, published in 1914, features a translation by John Dryden and illustrations by the artist John Flaxman. It is a beautiful and timeless work that will appeal to anyone interested in classical literature, mythology, or ancient history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
