À propos de cet audio
The Aeneid is the great national epic of ancient Rome, and one of the most important works of literature ever written. And with Professor Vandiver's twelve instructive lectures, you'll enter fully into the gripping tale that Virgil tells. Join Aeneas on his long journey west from ruined Troy to the founding of a new nation in Italy, and see how he weaves a rich network of compelling human themes. Your encounter with the Aeneid focuses on careful, detailed examinations of the epic's background, main themes, and significant episodes. You'll get a helpful introduction to Virgil's Latin epic and the mythic and literary background with which Virgil was working (including an insightful summary of the legends of the Trojan War and of Romulus and Remus). From there, you'll dive into the poem itself with lectures that, in their clarity, economy, and enthusiasm, you're sure to find illuminating and thoroughly engaging.
Throughout it all, the figure of Aeneas is never far from center stage- as fighter and lover, father and son, refugee and ruler, wanderer and founder, spellbinding storyteller, and sword-wielding man of action.
Whether you read the narrative of his adventures as a paean to the glories of Rome or a cautionary tale about the human costs of empire, by the end of these lectures you'll come to understand precisely why Tennyson called Virgil a lord of language, and lauded his special gift for golden phrase.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Another great course by Prof Vandiver
I recommend all courses by Professor Vandiver. All 5 stars. I started with the Iliad, then the Odyssey, followed by Classical Mythology and finally the Aeneid. I would recommend them in that order given the chronology and references.

A lecture I keep coming back to ..It's *that* good
I first heard this lecture series about five or six years ago via CDs and instantly fell in love. When I saw Audible offered her lectures I was 100% sold--even after having listened to her talks on the Aeneid before. Prof Vandiver is engaging, an excellent communicator and lecturer, and breathes life into this ancient world. She draws out important details and images from the work and makes it accessible and intensely fascinating for all listeners/readers. All of her work is stellar for those interested in ancient works. I highly recommend this great series. #Audible1

Audible keeps removing after I pay
I’ve downloaded this book twice and twice it’s been removed from my library. The first time it was available for free, but the second time I had to pay for it and still it was removed from my library. I’ve had this happen with other books in this serious that I’ve paid for. Frustrating technical problems …
