At first glance‚ Virgil’s The Aeneid‚ is the epitome of Rome’s great history. The Aeneid even gives the protagonist‚ Aeneas‚ a prophecy of all the great leaders and founders that were to come build the Roman Empire into what it was during Augustus’ rule.

Two of the greatest epic poems in human history‚ the Iliad and the Aeneid‚ portray a world of gods and goddesses‚ and most importantly‚ epic heroes fighting in the Trojan War. By having heroic characters‚ both authors‚ Homer and Virgil‚ give their points of view on what they think a hero is.
