The Aeneid by the Roman poet Virgil (70 BC-19 BC) is a classic epic tale of Aeneas, a Trojan prince, about his adventurous journey and struggle to establish a new realm across the sea in Italy from the ashes of Troy. This epic by Virgil has depicted Aeneas as the embodiment of Roman virtues, a dutiful servant of fate and of the gods, an exemplary leader of the people, a devoted father and a son who had kept the interest of the country over his personal goals.

 

The translation of this epic to Odia language by Professor Bairagi Charan Jena, has preserved the meaning and connotations of the original Latin poem of Virgil within the constraints of grammatical structure of Odia language. This book is intended for use by people with literary aptitudes, students and researchers.

Description

About the Author

Publius Vergilius Maro (15 October 70 BC – 21 September 19 BC), usually called Virgil was an ancient Roman poet of the Augustan period. He wrote three of the most famous poems in Latin literature: the Eclogues (or Bucolics), the Georgics, and the epic Aeneid. Virgil is traditionally ranked as one of Rome’s greatest poets. His Aeneid has been considered the national epic of ancient Rome since the time of its composition. Modeled after Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, the Aeneid follows the Trojan refugee Aeneas as he struggles to fulfill his destiny and reach Italy, where his descendants Romulus and Remus were to found the city of Rome. Virgil’s work has had wide and deep influence on Western literature, most notably Dante’s Divine Comedy, in which Virgil appears as Dante’s guide through Hell and Purgatory.
