«La Eneida» is Virgil's Latin epic, published by Editorial Juventud in paperback (302 pages, in Spanish).
The work narrates the journey of Aeneas, a Trojan prince, from the fall of Troy to the coasts of Italy, where his descendants will give rise to Rome. In that journey, mythology, history and politics converge: intervening gods, maritime adventures and battles, and the legend that traces Roman emperors back to the gods.
Paperback edition from the Clásicos collection, with a direct and literal translation from Latin by Vicente López-Soto and illustrations by Jaime Azpelicueta.
It will interest students of classical literature and readers of mythology and epic poetry.
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.
