The Aeneid is a Latin epic poem written by Virgil in the 1st century BC (between 29 and 19 BC). The work tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan prince who, after the fall of Troy, travels to Italy and becomes the ancestor of the Romans. The poem consists of 12 books in dactylic hexameters and is one of the most important works of Latin and universal literature.
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.
