<p><strong>The Aeneid</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>Virgil</strong>'s epic poem begins with Aeneas fleeing the ruins of Troy with his father Anchises and his young son Ascanius, with a plan to make a home in Italy. Because of a prophecy foretelling that the descendants of Aeneas will one day destroy Carthage, <strong>Juno</strong>'s favorite city, <strong>Juno</strong> orders the god of the winds to unleash a terrible storm. The ships are thrown off course and arrive at an African port. <strong>As Aeneas</strong> makes his way towards his new home he encounters Dido, Carthage's queen, and falls deeply in love.<strong>Although Charles</strong> W. Elliot stated that "the modern appreciation of the Iliad and the Odyssey has tended to carry with it a depreciation of the Aeneid," this epic poem continues to inspire artists, writers, and musicians centuries after its first telling. <strong>John Dryden</strong>'s translation captures the musicality of the original Latin verses while avoiding the stumbling of an English translation forced into dactylic hexameter.</p>
