The Aeneid holds a place high in the canon of western literature alongside such works as The Iliad and The Odyssey. Written by the Roman playwright Virgil it is the tale of Aeneas a hero of the Trojan war and the mythical father of the Roman nation. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
