I've just finished reading the Aeneid of Virgil, (its great; I highly reccomend it.) Its about the Trojans driven by fate to Latium, in order to found Rome. It is very fast paced reading, especially the second half or so. Its a wonderful poem. It was Virgil's life long ambition to write the poem and he died while researching places in Greece that he wished to include in Aenea's wonderings. On his deathbed he willed that the unfinished manuscripts be burned! It was overuled by Augustus, thankfully. Its crazy to think that this great poem was nearly destroyed. I wonder how many great works were destroyed or lost to time? Think about Alexandria. Its tragic. I encourage anyone to read this poem with its near loss in mind. Happy reading!
