Basic background to Virgil's Aeneid

Описание к видео Basic background to Virgil's Aeneid

This video will teach you the basic historical, mythological, and literary background of the ancient Roman poet Vergil and his great epic poem, the Aeneid. Ancient texts can take a little extra effort to understand and appreciate, which is why they're so often read only in college classes, but after watching this video, you'll be be prepared to read and enjoy the Aeneid on your own.

22 minutes of high-resolution slides, backed by the soothing narration of professor nyquil.

Correction: 6:01. I misspoke here: Menelaus was king of Sparta, his brother Agamemnon was king of Mycenae.
