Virgil’s epic tale tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero, who abandons his city after its fall with his father Ascanius, for Aeneas is destined to found Rome and father the Roman race. As Aeneas journeys closer to his goal, he must first prove his worth and attain the moral and emotional maturity necessary for such an illustrious task. He battles terrifying storms in the Mediterranean, encounters the fearsome Cyclopes, falls in love with the beautiful and charismatic Dido, Queen of Carthage, travels into the Underworld and engages in war in Italy.
