Wikipedia, August 18, 2014 (The Aeneid (Latin: Aeneis) is a Latin epic poem, written by Virgil between 29 and 19 BC, that tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who travelled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans. It is composed of 9,896 lines in dactylic hexameter. The Aeneid can be divided into two halves based on the disparate subject matter of Books 1-6 (Aeneas's journey to Latium in Italy) and Books 7-12 (the war in Latium).)
