Description
Book Synopsis: Tras la quema de Troya a manos de los griegos, Eneas parte hacia una tierra extraña, en la que había de encontrar su nuevo hogar. En su viaje por mar, el hijo de Venus arrostrará numerosas dificultades hasta llegar a su destino en la costa italiana, e incluso allí se verá obligado a entablar una guerra contra los pueblos itálicos, para conseguir al fin fundar una ciudad llamada a convertirse en cabeza del mundo. Más allá de las evidentes funciones políticas y sus distintos niveles temáticos, la Eneida narra la gesta de un héroe exiliado de su patria y nos ofrece la gran epopeya de los orígenes romanos. Esta obra, que sirvió al tiempo como justificación y exaltación del nuevo régimen impuesto por el emperador Augusto, es una magistral combinación entre el pasado legendario de Roma y su historia reciente. Publicado originalmente en la BCG con el número 166, este volumen presenta la versión de la Eneida a cargo de Javier de Echave-Sustaeta. La introducción original ha sido revisada y corregida por su autor, Vicente Cristóbal López (catedrático de Filología latina de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid).
