Virgil was a Roman poet active in the first century BC. He is perhaps best known for his epic poem the Aeneid, which recounted the travels of Aeneas, a Trojan prince, from his flight from Troy after its destruction by the Greeks to his eventual arrival in Italy and founding of Rome. He is also known for his two pastoral poems, the Eclogues and the Georgics.
