This 2004 guide gives a full account of the historical setting and significance of Virgil's epic, and discusses the poet's use of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, as well as the most celebrated episodes in the poem, including the tragedy of Dido and Aeneas' visit to the underworld. The volume examines Virgil's psychological and philosophical insights, and explains the poem's status as the central classic of European culture. The final chapter considers the Aeneid's influence on later writers including Dante and the Romantics. The guide to further reading has been updated and will prove to be an invaluable resource to students coming to The Aeneid for the first time. 410 0$aLandmarks of world literature. 606 $aAeneas (Legendary character) in literature 606 $aEpic poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism 607 $aRome$xIn literature 615 0$aAeneas (Legendary character) in literature. 615 0$aEpic poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a873.01 700 $aGransden$b K.
