The AeneidRelating the legendary tale of Aeneas, The Aeneid, written in 1st century B.C, by Virgil, is a great Latin epic poem. Relating the story of a Trojan who wanders to Italy and from whom the Romans are descended; the work presents two themes in general. The first is related to the wanderings while the second centres on a war that took place between the Trojans and the Latins. Although the work remains incomplete, it is seen by critics as a comment on the vengeful nature of human kind. |
