Seutonius' "The Twelve Caesars" or Plato's "The Republic" come to mind. Virgil's masterwork "The Aenied" lies comfortably in this category and is likely just his version of a tale that had been passed down by oration for generations. It's probably the goriest work of that time I've read too: in the battles heads are lopped off, blood jets out of wounds, torsos and groins are skewered by spears, etc.The basic premise is that Rome was founded by Trojans who'd fled their home city (Troy) while it was being razed and plundered by the victorious Greeks. But it wasn't exactly a quick journey to a new homeland. A few of the gods (Hera in particular) despised the Trojans and did their utmost to prevent these people from reaching Italy. This epic is about the adventures of the Trojan prince Aeneas and his followers as they attempt to achieve their destiny as founders of Rome, which ultimately became the capital of the Roman Empire.The translation is wonderful, no complaints at all there from a readability standpoint. An exciting adventure that hasn't worn out over time; it's still as fresh as it ever was and deserves its reputation as a classic of all time. The only nitpick I have is that the ending is rather abrupt, without a real sense of closure. I would have liked to know, for example, what happened in Carthage following Aeneas' hasty departure. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Latin class comes to life *by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2008* I studied The Aeneid in 4th year Latin in high school many years ago. I am sure it was never like this or I would remember it more fondly. This telling has a real sense of action and adventure. From ships tossed at sea to battles fought, the tale unfolds with energy and the characters come to life or larger-than-life, as the case may be. The voices of the gods are splendid and distinct; the narration by Paul Scofield quiet but never dull. And Toby Stephens as Aeneas is completely heroic and compelling. When he speaks it is easy to imagine his fellow Trojans' willingness to follow him for seven years and not lose heart. There was much more to the love story between Dido and Aeneas than I remembered from school, too. I guess unmarried intimacy was not for our tender ears. My only complaint is a somewhat abrupt and slightly unsatisfying ending to this excellent rendition of a classic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classics illustrated senior comics *by P***Z on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2019* No possibility of disliking, but beautiful senior classic illustrated comic reprint better than original one. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/180109499-the-aeneid-classics-illustrated](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/180109499-the-aeneid-classics-illustrated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
