Description
The Aeneid by Virgil.
The Aeneid - thrilling, terrifying and poignant in equal measure - has inspired centuries of artists, writers and musicians.
Virgil's epic tale tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero who flees his city after its fall with his father Anchises and his young son Ascanius - for Aeneas is destined to found Rome and father the Roman race. As Aeneas journeys closer to his goal, he must first prove his worth and attain the maturity necessary for such an illustrious task. He battles raging storms in the Mediterranean, encounters the fearsome Cyclopes, falls in love with Dido, Queen of Carthage, travels into the Underworld and wages war in Italy.
