The Aeneid: one of the seminal literary achievements of the ancient world. This is the story of the foundation of Rome from the ashes of Troy. Aeneas, Trojan veteran and son of Venus, tormented by the vengeful Juno, survives war and the dangerous odyssey which follows to become the legendary ancestor of the Roman people. This epic in heroic verse embodies the saga that unified the mythic history of Greece and Rome, and gave Romans a renewed sense of themselves. A classic tale of a man torn between love, duty, and the divine, the Aeneid remains as relevant now as it was to the ancients. Presented in a new format featuring both Latin and English, with new vocabulary presented in-line as it's encountered, this complete volume allows readers to verify their comprehension or to learn as they go. Each Latin paragraph is displayed with its English translation on the facing page, making this an easy and enjoyable read for students and enthusiasts alike.
