The first book of the Aeneid starts from the beginning with the Trojan war. Vergil's image of the Trojan horse is one of his best. The Trojan horse is a true breach of the City walls by the Greeks in secrecy. Another one of Vergil's great images is in book IV. Fama- rumor, she moves very quickly and it is all evil as Vergil describes her. It is one of the most captivating books of ancient history from a very unique prespective. no reviews | add a review
