Fairfax Taylor Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeneid David Clarke, Lisa Reigel, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Aeneid of Virgil" by Virgil is a classic epic poem written in the late 1st century BC. The poem narrates the legendary exploits of Aeneas, a Trojan hero and the forefather of the Romans, as he embarks on a tumultuous journey from the ruins of Troy to find a new homeland in Italy. Central to the story is Aeneas's struggles against divine forces, particularly the wrath of Juno, and his relentless pursuit of destiny, amid themes of fate, duty, and the foundation of a great civilization. At the start of "The Aeneid," Aeneas is introduced as a noble warrior who survives the fall of Troy and is propelled by fate to establish a new city in Italy. The opening details the fierce opposition he faces from Juno, who harbors resentment against the Trojans. Guided by divine intervention, Aeneas and his fleet are shipwrecked on the coast of Carthage, where he seeks refuge and encounters the strong-willed Queen Dido. As Aeneas reflects on his harrowing journey and lost comrades, the stormy conflict between personal desires and divine mandates begins to unfold, setting the stage for the epic's exploration of heroism and destiny.
