Description

The Aeneid Virgil

From the smouldering ruins of Troy, Aeneas flees the victorious Greeks. Harried by the goddess Juno, he leads a small band in search of a new destiny: to found the kingdom of Rome. Written in the wake of the Roman civil wars, Virgil’s epic is one of the founding books of Western culture. Aeneas’ visit to the underworld, Dido’s suicide, the death of Priam at the altar – these are among the most powerful and moving moments in all literature.

Translated by Robert Fagles, introduction and notes by Bernard Knox. Blocked in gold and black with a design by Jeff Clements inspired by Trojan sails and Roman arches. Unmarked Solander (Clamshell) Case.
