Description

Trojan Aeneas sails toward Italy under the gods? hard destiny: storms, Dido?s love and loss, then war with Turnus for a future Rome. Duty over desire. Spoken as epic when founding a people costs a heart.

Author

Virgil (70–19 BCE) was born near Mantua, studied in Milan, Rome, and Naples, and wrote under the shadow of Augustus. The Eclogues are pastoral with a political weather; the Aeneid is Rome's epic of a man who leaves a burning city and must found another. Duty, piety, and the cost of a future: Aeneas carries them like luggage he cannot put down. Virgil died at Brundisium with the poem, tradition says, still unfinished.
