19 BC
The poet Virgil's most famous work, the Aeneid, appears. An epic poem based around myths concerning the founding of Rome, it tells the story of the Trojan, Aeneas, who leaves Troy after its fall to the Greeks and journeys around the Mediterranean (like Odysseus in the Greek writer Homer's epic Odyssey) before finally landing in Latium and founding Rome. Virgil himself dies at Brindisi later the same year. |
