The Aeneid

Credits: Virgil (author)

Summary

Aeneas flees burning Troy, loses Dido's love at Carthage, descends to the underworld, and fights his way to Italy to found the line that will build Rome. Dryden's 1697 version in heroic couplets was the standard English Aeneid for two centuries. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
