«Eneida» is Virgil's Latin epic, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (648 pages, in Spanish).
The epic poem follows Aeneas, a Trojan prince who, after the fall of Troy, undertakes a journey guided by the gods to Italy, where he must found Rome. Amid wars and encounters such as that with Dido, the work explores duty, sacrifice and the mythical origin of the Roman people, and is a reference of classical epic.
It belongs to the Letras Universales collection (number 60) and features an edition by José Carlos Fernández Corte.
Recommended for literature students and readers interested in Greco-Latin classics and Roman mythology.
Publius Vergilius Maro, usually called Virgil or Vergil in English, was an ancient Roman poet of the Augustan period. He composed three of the most famous poems in Latin literature: the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the epic Aeneid. Some minor poems, collected in the Appendix Vergiliana, were attributed to him in ancient times, but modern scholars regard these as spurious, with the possible exception of some short pieces.
