"Aeneidos" by Virgil is an epic poem written during the late 1st century BC. The work centers on the hero Aeneas, a Trojan prince who embarks on a tumultuous journey after the fall of Troy, aiming to reach Italy and fulfill his destiny as the founder of Rome. The narrative commences with themes of divine intervention, fate, and the struggles faced by Aeneas and his companions. The opening of the poem introduces us to Aeneas, who is grappling with the loss of his homeland and the wrath of the goddess Juno. As he navigates treacherous seas filled with storms and dangers conjured by divine forces, the reader witnesses his poignant reflections on loss and longing for home. We encounter other significant figures, including the vengeful goddess Juno, who fears that Aeneas’s lineage will lead to the downfall of Carthage, and Aeolus, the king of the winds, who is manipulated by Juno to unleash chaos upon Aeneas's fleet. These initial verses lay the groundwork for the epic's exploration of heroism, destiny, and the interplay between mortals and the divine as Aeneas strives to establish a new beginning for his people in Italy.
