Book Synopsis
This is the OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 3) prescription of Virgil''s Aeneid Book 2, lines 40249 and the A-Level (Group 4) prescription of Book 2, lines 268317, 370558, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed material to be read in English for A Level. Book II of Virgil's Aeneid is the story of how Troy fell and how Aeneas escaped with his family and his city's gods. It is a narrative relayed in retrospect by Aeneas as a refugee at the court of Queen Dido in Carthage, and the OCR selection covers the book's first two thirds: the Wooden Horse episode, and the chaos which ensues including the dramatic murder of King Priam. Virgil depicts war in all its ugly complexity, and Aeneas' response to this as combatant in Troy, as exile in Carthage is central to the poem's early exposition.Supporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https://www.bloomsbury.pub/
