About this product

Product Information

W. F. Jackson Knight's prose translation captures the vitality and music of the original, while his introduction discusses Virgil's life and literary career, and his poetic style and vision. Aeneas the True - son of Venus and of a mortal father - escapes from Troy after it is sacked by the conquering Greeks. He undergoes many trials and adventures on a long sea journey, from a doomed love affair in Carthage with the tragic Queen Dido to a sojourn in the underworld. All the way, the hero is tormented by the meddling of the vengeful Juno, Queen of the Gods and a bitter enemy of Troy, but his mother and other gods protect Aeneas from despair and remind him of his ultimate destiny - to found the great city of Rome. Reflecting the Roman peoples' great interest in the 'myth' of their origins, Virgil (70-19 BC) made the story of Aeneas glow with a new light in his majestic epic.

  • Good

    Cover is different and smaller than expected but at least it’s in good condition. Plus I got it for really cheap so I’m happy :) but the cover seriously made me laugh 😂 - just not what I expected

  • Not as expected

    The book pictured wasn’t the one I received. Mine looks like it came from a school in 1972, it’s original price is on the back of 80p It’s still the same story, but get the same feeling as when your order a Big Mac and it looks nothing like the picture on the menu.

  • Myth of tragedy and the founding of Rome

    It's the mythic story of the founding of Rome by refugees of the sack of Troy, including the tragic tale of Dido, abandoned by her lover Aeneas. Classic.
