The Aeneid is a Latin epic written by Virgil in the 1st century BC commissioned by Emperor Augustus in order to glorify the empire by attributing a mythical origin to it. The work tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan prince who, after the fall of Troy, flees to Italy and founds the city of Rome.
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.
