Book excerpt: Virgil's Aeneid: A Study Guide will assist you in your studies of Virgil's Aeneid for A Level examinations in Classical Civilisation or equivalents. Written in the epic style, the Aeneid was (and still is) inevitably compared to Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Virgil's Aeneid is a Latin epic poem that, although inspired by the epic poetry of Homer, was a poem written very much for his own time and in order to celebrate the greatness of Rome. The Aeneid is an account in twelve books of the travels and toils of the Trojan hero, Aeneas. The Aeneid covers Aeneas' escape from Troy at the end of the Trojan War, his wanderings and efforts to find a new home for his people and his battles in Italy in order to found a new home for the survivors of the Trojan War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and tragedy dominate book four of Virgil's most powerful work, building on the violent emotions invoked by the storms, battles, warring gods, and monster-plagued wanderings of the epic's opening. Destined to be the founder of Roman culture, Aeneas, nudged by the gods, decides to leave his beloved Dido, causing her suicide in pursuit of his historical destiny. A dark plot, in which erotic passion culminates in sex, and sex leads to tragedy and death in the human realm, unfolds within the larger horizon of a supernatural sphere, dominated by power-conscious divinities. Dido is Aeneas' most significant other, and in their encounter Virgil explores timeless themes of love and loyalty, fate and fortune, the justice of the gods, imperial ambition and its victims, and ethnic differences. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, study questions, a commentary, and interpretative essays. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Ingo Gildenhard's incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both A2 and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Virgil's poetry and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought.

Book excerpt: The book aims at providing a coherent guide to the entirety of Virgil's Aeneid, with analysis of every scene and, in some cases, every line of crucial passages. The book tries to provide a guide to the vast bibliography and scholarly apparatus that has grown around Virgil studies (especially over the past century), and to offer some critical study of what Virgil's purpose and intent may have been in crafting his response to Augustus' political ascendancy in Rome, Rome's history of near-constant civil strife, and the myths of Rome's origins and their conflicting Trojan, Greek, and native Italian origins.
