What is Aeneid?

this is iliad reversed. a band of survivors of troy land in latium/italy to found a new home. they are the invaders this time and invaders win once more with the help of the confusion of the olympic gods. turnus, a hector-like figure lacking in nobility of spirit is killed by aeneas.

The Aeneid shares with the Iliad and the Odyssey a tone of ironic tragedy, as characters act against their own wishes, submit their lives to fate, and often meet dark ends.

What does "Aeneid" mean?

The epic poem by Publius Vegilius Maro, or Vergil who wrote it for augustus caesar about the adventures of Aeneas, (SPOILER ALERT!) from the receiving of the Trojan Horse, to the killing of Turnus,

The Aeneid translation of Roberts Fagles is the best book ever, it has sex, violence, msytery, song, love, hate, and just about every other humor emotion, and is very hard to read in latin.
