The Aeneid

Aeneid by Fagles

This epic was written during the days of Augustus Caesar. In fact, the emperor actually commissioned Publius Vergilius Maro to write a great epic for the Romans to rival Homer’s.  Virgil was already a renowned poet in Rome, known for the Eclogues and the Georgics (odes to the country life).
