Virgil’s Aeneid, composed between 29 and 19 BC, is the foundational epic of Roman civilisation. In twelve books of dactylic hexameter, it follows the Trojan hero Aeneas — son of Venus, bearer of destiny — from the burning ruins of Troy through storms, wars, and a descent into the underworld to found the lineage of Rome.
This English translation renders Virgil’s stately verse in clear, flowing prose-verse accessible to modern readers. The free EPUB is cleanly formatted with all twelve books complete and book divisions clearly marked.
