In his masterpiece, the <strong>Aeneid, <\/strong>written between 29 B.C. and 19 B.C., the Latin poet transforms the story of an exile into the epic of Rome&#8217;s foundation and greatness<\/p><p>In fact, in the Virgilian tale, <strong>Aeneas&#8217; journey does <\/strong>not appear as the migration of a foreign people but as a return to its ancient origins, by virtue of the fact that Dardanus, the Trojans&#8217; ancestor, came from Italy. Aeneas therefore does not simply aim to found a new city, but rather to find a place where he can transfer his homeland.<\/p><p>In the Aeneid, the Trojan myth is associated with the ideology of the Augustan principate: <strong>Aeneas is the progenitor of Caesar Augustus <\/strong>and Virgil glorifies the <em>princeps <\/em>at the very beginning of his poem, where it is Zeus himself who reassures Aphrodite of the great destiny of her son&#8217;s lineage, which will have dominion over the Achaeans &#8211; the Greeks &#8211; who were victorious over Troy. In this way, the legend of Aeneas legitimises the conquests of Rome.<\/p><p>After two millennia, the Aeneid, with its <strong>extraordinary depth and multiplicity of voices<\/strong>, continues to speak to contemporary men and women, provoking, through its verses, multiple reflections on the present and on current affairs: from the devastation caused by wars to exile and the flight from a homeland that is no longer inhabitable; from the pursuit of an identity, not only personal, sometimes irretrievably lost, to the attachment to origins and family members; from the urgency of having to deal with a situation of crisis to the meeting and solidarity between peoples.<\/p><p>This universality of the Virgilian hero is why &#8211; as the great poet Giorgio Caproni, his staunch admirer, wrote &#8211; <strong>we are all Aeneas<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE AENEID Virgil&#8217;s masterpiece consecrating the epic of Rome&#8217;s foundation THE AENEID Virgil is one of the most admired, studied and imitated classical authors.
