The Aeneid by Virgil follows the Trojan hero Aeneas on his journey from the fallen city of Troy to Italy, where he is destined to found the city of Rome. Aeneas faces numerous challenges and trials, including the wrath of the goddess Juno, who seeks to thwart his destiny, and the tragic love affair with Queen Dido of Carthage. Guided by fate and duty, Aeneas perseveres, traveling to the Underworld to learn of Rome's future greatness from his father, Anchises. In Italy, Aeneas allies with local leaders and battles against Turnus and the Latin tribes, ultimately emerging victorious and fulfilling his divine mandate. Through themes of fate, duty, and the cost of conflict, The Aeneid explores the founding myth of Rome and celebrates the virtues of piety, destiny, and perseverance.
