From the fall of Troy to the deadly Harpies, Aeneas’ epic voyage is filled with tragedy, destruction and omens of danger. As he recounts his adventures to Dido, who gives him sanctuary, they fall in love. But the Gods intervene and Aeneas realizes their relationship cannot last.

About the author

Virgil

Virgil (70–19 BCE) was the preeminent poet of Augustan Rome, whose works redefined the Latin literary tradition. His magnum opus, the Aeneid, established a foundational national myth for Rome, linking its origins to the survivors of Troy. Beyond this epic, his Eclogues and Georgics showcased a mastery of pastoral and didactic verse. Revered for his technical precision and profound exploration of fate and duty, Virgil’s influence endured through the Middle Ages, famously serving as Dante’s guide in the Divine Comedy.
