Sinopsis

This is William Morris?s celebrated English verse translation of Virgil?s epic poem, the 'Æneid.' Originally written in Latin, the 'Æneid' tells the story of Æneas, a Trojan hero who travels to Italy and becomes the ancestor of the Romans. Morris, renowned for his contributions to the Arts and Crafts movement and his translations of classic texts, brings his unique poetic sensibility to Virgil?s masterpiece. This edition offers readers a chance to experience the power and beauty of the 'Æneid' in a compelling and accessible form, capturing the drama, pathos, and enduring themes of fate, duty, and the founding of an empire. A valuable addition to any collection of classical literature.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
