"Eneida; v.1 de 2" by Virgil is a Latin epic written in the 1st century BC. Commissioned by Emperor Augustus to glorify Rome with a mythic origin, the work follows Trojan hero Aeneas as he escapes Troy's destruction and journeys to Italy, where he becomes the ancestor of Romans. The first six books chronicle his travels across the Mediterranean, while the final six narrate his wars in Italy, culminating in the legendary founding of Lavinium, precursor to Rome itself.
