Aeneas, a Trojan hero, escapes the ruins of Troy, embarking on a perilous journey across the Mediterranean. As he seeks a new homeland in Italy, he faces divine wrath, treacherous seas, and the weight of destiny. Will he fulfill his fate and lay the foundations for Rome, or will the gods' whims thwart his quest? Discover the epic tale of courage, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of a promised future.

From the publisher

Relates in vigorous prose the tale of Aeneas, the legendary ancestor of Romulus, who escaped from the burning city of Troy and wandered the Mediterranean for years before settling in Italy. Patterned after the Iliad and the Odyssey, the Aeneid was composed as an epic poem by Virgil, to glorify the imperial city of Rome.
