The Aeneid

Sinopsis
The Aeneid is a Latin epic poem written by Virgil between 29 and 19 BC. It centers on Aeneas, a Trojan hero who escapes after the fall of Troy and sets out on a journey toward Italy. Along the way, he faces dangerous trials as he travels across the Mediterranean, and the story also includes a conflict in which he confronts the Latins. Through this narrative, Virgil shapes earlier legends into a foundational myth for Rome, linking the empire’s origins to Troy’s past. The work presents Roman power as grounded in divine ancestry and established ideals.
