SUMMARY:Evening course: Introduction to Virgil's Aeneid
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Virgil’s Aeneid\nby Eva Mooney \n\nMondays\, 6-7pm \nat the East Oxford Community Classic Centre starting Monday 12th January\, and running for six weeks – free of charge (donations welcome) \n\nThe Aeneid is a monumental work written in the late first century BC about the Trojan hero Aeneas. After his city is razed in the Trojan War\, Aeneas leads a pack of refugees west and founds the Roman race; his descendant Romulus founds Rome. We will read Virgil’s masterpiece in translation\, and you will gain a good knowledge of both one of the most influential classical works and a pivotal period of human history – the Augustan Period in which Virgil wrote. The Aeneid straddles the line between fan-fiction and literary one-upmanship: Aeneas was a minor character in Homer’s Iliad whom Virgil makes the central character of the Aeneid and\, similar to the Odyssey\, goes on a journey to find a home. We will also discuss Roman cultural attitudes\, the Aeneid’s place as a piece of propaganda\, and the mythology involved in the story. \n\nYou can book for this course at info@irisproject.org.uk
