Today I’m going to be telling the story of a Latin epic poem called The Aeneid written by Virgil.

The Aeneid is a story about a Trojan prince named Aeneas and his journeys after the fall of his city. The book starts when Aeneas’s city Troy falls and he has to flea the city, after traveling for a very long time he ending up in small city called Carthage. The queen of the city is named Dido and she didn’t have a prince so when Aeneas came by she immediately fell in love with him and devoted all of her time to him. Aeneas knowing that he could not stay in Carthage for forever and he had to find a true home but he still led Dido on and when he ended up leaving Dido was so heart broken that she committed suicide. After Aeneas travels he ended up going to Rome and found his true home in Italy.
