«La Eneida» is Virgil's Latin epic, published by Planeta in paperback (490 pages, in Spanish).
Aeneas, a Trojan prince, flees the destruction of Troy and crosses the Mediterranean towards Italy, guided by his destiny to found Rome. Along the way he encounters storms and Cyclopes, experiences Dido's tragic love in Carthage, descends to the underworld, and takes part in the war in Latium.
This edition belongs to Clásicos Universales Planeta (no. 38), with an introduction and notes by Virgilio Bejarano and a verse translation by Gregorio Hernández de Velasco.
For readers who want to approach the great Greco-Latin classics 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.
