Aeneid of Virgil

With The Aeneid of Virgil, Professor Elizabeth Vandiver has crafted a masterful presentation on the great national epic of ancient Rome and one of the most important works of literature ever written. Join Aeneas on his long journey west from ruined Troy to the founding of a new nation in Italy, and see how the author Virgil weaves together a rich network of compelling human themes on duty, desire, leadership, and more. Professor Vandiver's detailed examinations of the Aeneid's background, themes, and significant episodes are a fresh take on this cornerstone of the Western literary canon.
