Aeneid (Virgil)

Virgil's Latin epic in twelve books on Aeneas's flight from Troy, his wanderings and his war in Italy, written under Augustus, whom it names in the underworld and at Actium. It is the fullest witness for the Roman Penates, Janus's Gates of War, Faunus's oracle and Bellona, and for Jupiter's promise of "empire without end". Read here in T. C. Williams's 1910 translation, cited by book and Latin line.
