«La Eneida» by Virgil is the epic poem published by Espasa Calpe Mexicana, S.A., in paperback, with 248 pages in Spanish.
The poem follows Aeneas, a Trojan prince who flees the fall of Troy and travels across the Mediterranean to Italy, where his descendants will found Rome. In twelve books it combines the voyage model of the Odyssey with the martial epic of the Iliad, with gods intervening and the tension between duty and desire.
This edition belongs to the Austral Collection and includes an introduction and notes by Vinicio Leon Mancheno.
Recommended for students of classical literature and for readers who want to begin with ancient epic.
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.
