Aeneas flees the ashes of Troy to found the city of Rome and change forever the course of the Western world - as literature as well. Virgil's Aeneid is as eternal as Rome itself, a sweeping epic of arms and heroism - the searching portrait of a man caught between love and duty, human feeling and the force of fate -that has influenced writers for over 2,000 years.
