The Aeneid

The way the poem intertwines legendary tales with the origins of Rome feels so deliberate. I'm curious what motivated Virgil to craft it this way.

Aeneas often makes difficult decisions that seem both noble and questionable. How do others interpret his character’s morality?

The poem’s pacing and the way it builds to the fall of Troy and the founding of Rome seem so precise. I wonder if Virgil mapped this out or let it evolve.
