«Énéide» is the Latin epic by Virgile, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (574 pages, in French).
The epic narrates the journey of Aeneas, a survivor of the fall of Troy, to the shores of Italy, where his lineage will give rise to Rome. In its twelve books, the hero suffers Juno's hostility, stops in Carthage with Queen Dido, and descends to the world of the dead before facing the Italic peoples.
This edition, published in 2004, includes the translation by Maurice Lefaure and the editing by Sylvie Laigneau-Fontaine, in the Classiques collection from Le Livre de Poche.
For students of classical literature and readers interested in Rome's founding myths.
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.
