Book The Voyage of Aeneas of Troy

Download or read book The Voyage of Aeneas of Troy written by Bernard Jones and published by . This book was released on 2023-07-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trojan War is the cardinal point in both British and European history. According to the British chronicles their ancient kings and princes are descended from Brutus the Trojan, the great grandson of Aeneas of Troy. Aeneas was a Trojan prince who survived the Trojan War and led his people in exile to found a 'New Troy'. Aeneas's voyage lasted seven years. In mythology it is said that he founded Lavinium and became the progenitor of the Romans, through his son Ascanius and the Alban kings. The author's first book demonstrated that the Trojan War was real, but what about Aeneas's voyage? Once more, the truth is stranger than fantasy! Incredibly, a detailed historical and geographical record of the voyage was left to posterity and has survived to this day. Scholars in the Classics know it as Virgil's Aeneid, but it is regarded as a work of fiction. This belief is mistaken. Every facet of Aeneas's voyage is minutely documented and the journey can be retraced in its entirety, provided that the keys to unlocking the Aeneid's hidden knowledge are known and the geography is correct. Unbelievably, the Aeneid reveals Aeneas's voyage to have taken place in the Western Oceans! Follow in Aeneas's footsteps over land and tempestuous seas, from Troy through to his arrival at Latium and the building of his first city. Discover the truth about the Island of the Cyclopes, the terrifying whirlpool Charybdis and the monster Scylla. Learn about Aeneas's meeting with the famous Sibyl of Cumae and the reality of his descent into hell.

Book C S  Lewis s Lost Aeneid

Download or read book C S Lewis s Lost Aeneid written by A. T. Reyes and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. S. Lewis (1898–1963) is best remembered as a literary critic, essayist, theologian, and novelist, and his famed tales The Chronicles of Narnia and The Screwtape Letters have been read by millions. Now, A. T. Reyes reveals a different side of this diverse man of letters: translator. Reyes introduces the surviving fragments of Lewis's translation of Virgil's epic poem, which were rescued from a bonfire. They are presented in parallel with the Latin text, and are accompanied by synopses of missing sections, and an informative glossary, making them accessible to the general reader. Writes Lewis in A Preface to Paradise Lost, “Virgil uses something more subtle than mere length of time…. It is this which gives the reader of the Aeneid the sense of having lived through so much. No man who has read it with full perception remains an adolescent.” Lewis's admiration for the Aeneid, written in the 1st century BC and unfolding the adventures of Aeneas, a Trojan who traveled to Italy and became the ancestor of the Romans, is evident in his remarkably lyrical translation. C. S. Lewis's Lost Aeneid is part detective story, as Reyes recounts the dramatic rescue of the fragments and his efforts to collect and organize them, and part illuminating look at a lesser-known and intriguing aspect of Lewis's work.
