The Eclogues, also called the Bucolics, is the first of the three major works of the Latin poet Virgil, containing ten pieces, each called not an idyll, populated by and large with herdsmen imagined conversing and performing amoebaean singing in largely rural settings, whether suffering or embracing revolutionary change or happy or unhappy love. The Georgics is the second major work by the Latin poet Virgil, with the subject of agriculture; but far from being an example of peaceful rural poetry, it is a work characterized by tensions in both theme and purpose. The Aeneid is an epic poem written between 29 and 19 BC. It tells story of Aeneas, a Trojan who traveled to Italy and became the ancestor of the Romans. The first six of the poem`s...

The first six of the poem`s twelve books tell the story of Aeneas` wanderings from Troy to Italy, and the poem`s second half tells of the Trojans` ultimately victorious war upon the Latins, under whose name Aeneas and his Trojan followers are destined to be subsumed. Publius Vergilius Maro, Virgil, was an ancient Roman poet of the Augustan period. He is known for three major works of Latin literature, the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the Aeneid.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In Greek mythology, the Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans (Greeks) after Paris of Troy took Helen from her husband Menelaus, the king of Sparta.

Episodes from the war provided material for Greek tragedy and other works of Greek literature, and for Roman poets like...

A lost work is a document or literary work produced some time in the past of which no surviving copies are known to exist. Works may be lost to history either through the destruction of the original manuscript, or through the non-survival of any copies of the work. Deliberate destruction of works may be termed literary crime or literary vandalism . In some cases fragments may survive, either found by archaeology, or sometimes reused as bookbinding materials, or because they are quoted in other works. The most famous recent example of an original or early manuscript is the discovery of the Archimedes palimpsest hidden in a much later prayer book. Most of the missing works are described by works or compilations which have survived, such as...

The product of more than a decade`s continuous work (1598-1611), Chapman`s translation of Homer`s great poem of war is a magnificent testimony to the power of the Iliad. In muscular, onward-rolling verse Chapman retells the story of Achilles, the great warrior, and his terrible wrath before the walls of besieged Troy, and the destruction it wreaks on both Greeks and Trojans. Chapman regarded the translation of this epic, and of Homer`s Odyssey (also available in Wordsworth Editions) as his life`s work, and dedicated himself to capturing the `soul` of the poem.
