"Story of Aeneas" by Michael Clarke is a historical retelling of the legendary journey of Aeneas, originally depicted in Virgil's "Aeneid," composed during the late 19th century. The book delves into the themes of heroism, divine intervention, and the founding of a new nation, highlighting Aeneas’s struggles as he escapes from the destruction of Troy and seeks to fulfill his destiny. The opening of the book introduces the context of Aeneas’s story, recounting the aftermath of the fall of Troy and his subsequent adventures. In this early portion, it vividly describes Aeneas's escape from the burning city, guided by prophecies and the will of the gods. The narrative captures pivotal moments such as the deceit of the Trojan Horse, the loss of loved ones, and the fateful encounters with divine beings that shape his journey. The stage is set for Aeneas's trials as he endeavors to establish a new home, with an emphasis on the suffering he and his companions endure along the way.
