The '''Aeneid''' ([[Latin language|Latin]]: ''Aeneis'') is an [[Epic poetry|epic poem]] written by [[Virgil]] between [[29 BC|29]] and [[19 BC]]. It tells the [[story]] of "pious [[Aeneas]]".<ref>Moseley, Nicholas. [https://www.jstor.org/pss/3288939  "Pius Aeneas,"] ''The Classical Journal'', Vol. 20, No. 7 (Apr., 1925), pp. 387-400; retrieved 2011-10-31.</ref>

Aeneas is a Trojan warrior who had to leave his city because the Greeks captured Troy after a long war. It starts with Aeneas carrying his father [[Anchises]] out of the burning [[Troy]]. It ends with Aeneas landing on the [[shore]]s of [[Italy]], fighting in the region of Rome. It can be read as indirect [[propaganda]] in favour of [[Augustus]], the [[Roman Emperor]] of the day.

The story is written in [[hexameter]]s, a type of verse.
