Alfred Church's beloved Aeneid retelling for readers of all ages, updated with over 20 classic works of art.

Virgil's epic poem picks up where Homer's Iliad and Odyssey leave off. For over a century, Rev. Alfred J. Church's 1907 retelling remains a popular choice to introduce readers of all ages to this classic tale.

The Trojan War ended, Aeneas and the Trojans journey to found a new nation. On the way to Italy, Aeneas and his people encounter untold dangers, adventure and immortals. Relying on the goddess Athena, Aeneas must face the harpies, venture into the underworld, avoid sea monsters and overcome his mortal foe. Readers will encounter Queen Dido of Carthage, Pallas, fierce warriors Camilla and Turnus. According to legend, the descendants of Aeneas go on to found the city of Rome.

Virgil's epic tale comes to life with full color classic paintings from Francois Perrier, Antonio Randa, Gallo Gallina, Salvator Rosa and more, as well as whimsical pen and ink drawings from the Golden Age of Illustration.

As with all Nourished Upon Ideas titles, this edition carefully preserves the author's complete and unabridged text, and artwork has been carefully selected to be suitable for all ages.
