Overview
Virgil was one of Rome’s greatest poets. He wrote during the reign of the first Roman emperor, Augustus. Though his life was relatively short—he died at 48—his work left a lasting impression on Western literature. His poem the Aeneid is considered the national epic of Rome. Written after the style of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, the Aeneid recounts Rome’s founding myth. The Aeneid, along with his other poetry, became standard in the classroom almost immediately following its publication. Virgil’s influence continued through the development of Western poetry. Dante, for example, made Virgil his guide through hell and purgatory in his Divine Comedy. This volume contains the Latin text of of Eclogues, Georgics, and books 1–6 of the Aeneid.
