Stories from Virgil is a collection of tales from the ancient Roman poet Virgil's epic works, including The Aeneid and The Georgics. Retold by Alfred J. Church, a renowned classicist and historian, these stories offer a glimpse into the world of ancient Rome and its mythology. From the epic journey of Aeneas, the Trojan hero who founded Rome, to the pastoral life of the Georgics, these stories are filled with adventure, romance, and tragedy.
