Virgil the Aeneid: The Epic Tale Complete

Virgil's Aeneid follows Trojan prince Aeneas on his divinely ordained journey to found Rome, from the fall of Troy through Queen Dido's tragic demise, a descent into the underworld and his eventual arrival in Italy. This edition presents the epic in Dryden's classic translation, long admired for its power and clarity. Alongside the Aeneid, it includes Virgil's Eclogues and Georgics, together with an extract from Tenney Frank's biography offering context for the poet's treatment of war, love and fate.
