"The Aeneid of Virgil" by Virgil traces the legendary voyage of Aeneas, a Trojan warrior, as he flees the ashes of Troy and destiny guides him toward the shores of Italy to establish Rome. Burdened with fate and challenged by vengeful gods, especially Juno's wrath, Aeneas battles storms and confronts trials, including a stop in Carthage, all while grappling with love, loss, and the heavy burden of duty to his people as he seeks a new homeland. The story begins with the fleet scattered at sea, setting the scene for an epic battle against both mortal and immortal foes.

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.
