Virgil's Aeneid
Poet, Work and Impact
Virgil's Aeneid became the most famous work in the history of ancient literature as the "Roman national epic". It tells of the odysseys and battles of the Trojan hero Aeneas, who eventually becomes the mythical ancestor of the Romans.
In his modern introduction, Markus Janka introduces the protagonists of the Aeneid, elucidates the main features of the plot, places the work in Virgil's oeuvre, explains the components of the poetic composition. He illustrates the significance of this epic for the Augustan period and its ideology, and explores its historical and aesthetic reception.
