Explanation: The Aeneid is an epic poem of the Roman Empire, tracing the mythological origins of Rome back to the Greek legends of the Iliad, and the Siege of Troy.
The opening line was so well-known that contemporary graffiti satirically quotes it. Obviously your child MUST be able to recite it if they are to be ANY sort of Roman citizen worth respecting!
MaiqArms, and the man I sing, who, forc’d by fate, and haughty Juno’s unrelenting hate, Expell’d and exil’d, left the Trojan shore. Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore, and in the doubtful war, before he won The Latian realm, and built the destin’d town; his banish’d gods restor’d to rites divine and settled sure succession in his line from whence the race of Alban fathers come and the long glories of majestic Rome.
O Muse! the causes and the crimes relate; What goddess was provok’d, and whence her hate; for what offense the Queen of Heav’n began to persecute so brave, so just a man; involv’d his anxious life in endless cares, expos’d to wants, and hurried into wars! Can heav’nly minds such high resentment show, or exercise their spite in human woe?
