This compelling book offers an entirely new way of understanding the Aeneid. Many scholars regard Vergil’s poem as an attempt to combine Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey into a single epic. Joseph Farrell challenges this view, revealing how the Aeneid stages an epic contest to determine which kind of story it will tell—and what kind of hero Aeneas will be.
