Aeneidos Liber TertiusThe third book of the Aeneid is the story of Aeneas' voyage from the dead past to the unborn future, from the smoking ruins of Troy towards the promise of a new civilization in a western land. It is an Odyssey weighted with symbolism, a voyage under divine guidance during which the Trojan leader learns of the destiny which awaits him and begins to formulate, with the help of Anchises and of the gods, the values of the Roman way of life of which he is the founder. -- Preface. |
