Collins Classics - The Aeneid

Descripción

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.Written between 29 and 19 B.C., The Aeneid tells the legendary tale of Aeneas, a Trojan who travelled to Italy, where he became the heroic ancestor of the Romans. This epic poem tells the story of Aeneas´ nomadic travels from Troy to Italy, followed by the Trojans´ victorious war against the Latins. Following on from his appearance in The Iliad, Aeneas´ disconnected wanderings and vague association with the founding of Rome were compiled by Virgil into a compelling, epic and fantastical national foundation myth.
