The Aeneid is an epic poem written by Virgil in the 1st century BC that tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan prince who travels to Italy and becomes the ancestor of the Romans. The work exalts the origins of the Roman people through Aeneas, a Trojan hero of divine lineage, and narrates his travels and the wars he had to sustain to establish his lineage in Lazio. The influence of Homer is evident and the references to the Iliad and the Odyssey are constant.
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.
