The Aeneid is the great poem of Virgil. It tells the long journey of Aeneas, a Trojan prince who survived the fall of Troy. Guided by the gods, he crosses the Mediterranean to found, in Italy, the line that will lead to Rome.
It is not only an adventure story. It is the founding myth of Roman power, written to give Rome a past as glorious as Homer's.
