Aeneid

Virgil and L. R. Lind

Narrated by Tim Lundeen

Book published by Indiana University Press

Aeneas flees the ashes of Troy to found the city of Rome and change forever the course of the Western world—as literature as well. Virgil's Aeneid is as eternal as Rome itself, a sweeping epic of arms and heroism—the searching portrait of a man caught between love and duty, human feeling and the force of fate—that has influenced writers for over 2,000 years. Filled with drama, passion, and the universal pathos that only a masterpiece can express. Virgil's Aeneid is a book for all the time and all people.

Virgil — also spelled Vergil — was born in 70 bc, and died in 19 bc. He was regarded by the Romans as their greatest poet.
