Classical Reflections Book Group
December 10 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Join the Classical Reflections Book Group where we will be discussing “The Aeneid” by Robert Fagles, the award-winning translator of The Iliad and The Odyssey.
Fleeing the ashes of Troy, Aeneas, Achilles’ mighty foe in the Iliad, begins an incredible journey to fulfill his destiny as the founder of Rome. His voyage will take him through stormy seas, entangle him in a tragic love affair, and lure him into the world of the dead itself–all the way tormented by the vengeful Juno, Queen of the Gods. Ultimately, he reaches the promised land of Italy where, after bloody battles and with high hopes, he founds what will become the Roman empire.
We will finish discussing this book at our February Group.
