"The Aeneid" - the epic by the Roman poet Virgil is a direct reference to the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey".
The Roman epic was written in hexameter in the first century BC. In twelve books of 9892 verses, it describes the story of the Trojan Aeneas, the legendary protoploss of the Romans.
The epics "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey" are the oldest monuments of Greek and European literature in general.
Thanks to these two works, Homer is considered one of the pillars of modern Western literature, serving as a source of inspiration and knowledge of antiquity.
