The Aeneid of Virgil by Virgil is one of the greatest epics in Western literature, a timeless tale of heroism, destiny, and the founding of Rome. Written in the 1st century BCE, this Latin masterpiece follows the journey of Aeneas, a Trojan prince who escapes the fall of Troy and undertakes a perilous voyage to fulfill his divine mission of establishing a new homeland in Italy. Along the way, Aeneas confronts gods, monsters, war, and inner conflict, embodying Roman virtues of duty, honor, and sacrifice. Rich in poetic grandeur and mythological depth, The Aeneid not only celebrates the origins of the Roman Empire but also explores universal themes of fate, loyalty, love, and loss. A cornerstone of classical literature, Virgil's epic continues to inspire and resonate through centuries of storytelling and cultural legacy.
