Abstract
As a literary genre, Publius Virgilius Maro (born in the tiny city of Andes towards the year 19 B.C.) was the author of an extraordinary trilogy of books. The third one of these –including its title– refers to Aeneas’ name in the form of an adventure: the Aeneid. This essay tells the story of the forebearers of Romulus and Remus. It also refers to the personality of Priam, king of Troy, and to the behavior of Venus and the birth of Cupid. Virgil imitates Homer some 800 years after the author of the Iliad. He was born in the small town in 70 BC. He innovates in literature in so far as he makes the hero a benefactor of the people rather than to insist in his personal grandeur.
