Virgil's Aeneid is as eternal as Rome itself, a sweeping epic of arms and heroism--the searching portrait of a man caught between love and duty, human feeling and the force of fate--that has influenced writers for over 2,000 years.
This epic poem, written by Virgil between 29 and 19 BC, tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan who travelled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans.
