"The Aeneid of Virgil" by Virgil is an epic poem likely written in the late 1st century BC. The narrative follows Aeneas, a Trojan hero, as he embarks on a tumultuous journey from the ruins of Troy to ultimately found Rome, facing divine interventions and numerous challenges along the way. Themes of fate, suffering, and the quest for a homeland resonate throughout the work, showcasing the conflict between personal desire and duty to one's people. The opening portion of the poem sets the stage for Aeneas's plight as he and his fleet, driven by the will of the gods, find themselves lost at sea after the fall of Troy. Aeneas is propelled by fate to seek a new home in Italy but faces fierce opposition from the goddess Juno, who harbors resentment against the Trojans. As they navigate the stormy seas, they are compelled to land in Carthage, where Aeneas is confronted with his past and the trials that lie ahead. The introductory passages foreshadow the epic’s exploration of love, loss, and the hero's struggle against both divine and mortal adversaries. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
