Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Story of Aeneas The story of Æ-ne´as related by the Roman poet Ver´gil in his celebrated poem called the Æ-ne´id, which we are to tell about in this book, is one of the most interesting of the myths or legends that have come down to us from ancient authors. Vergil lived in the time of the Roman Emperor Au-gus´tus (63 B. C. - 14 A. D.), grand-nephew and successor of Ju´li-us Cæ´sar. Augustus and his chief counsellor or minister Mæ-ce´nas, gave great encouragement to learning and learned men, and under their liberal patronage arose a number of eminent writers to whose works has been given the name of classics, as being of the highest rank or class. The period is known as the Augustan Age, a phrase also used in reference to periods in the history of other countries, in which literature reached its highest perfection.
