"The Aeneid" by Virgil is an epic poem that follows the Trojan hero Aeneas as he journeys to establish a new city in Italy following the destruction of Troy. Fate, duty, and the interference of gods shape Aeneas' path as he battles both human and supernatural obstacles. After a storm caused by the goddess Juno shipwrecks him and his followers, Aeneas lands in Carthage where he meets Queen Dido. With the help of Venus in disguise, Aeneas reveals the tragedies he has faced and prepares to recount his adventures to Dido, setting in motion a story of love, loyalty, and preordained destiny.

Summary
About the AuthorPublius Vergilius Maro, usually called Virgil or Vergil in English, was an ancient Roman poet of the Augustan period. He composed three of the most famous poems in Latin literature: the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the epic Aeneid. A number of minor poems, collected in the Appendix Vergiliana, were attributed to him in ancient times, but modern scholars generally regard these works as spurious, with the possible exception of a few short pieces.
