It is a narrative relayed in retrospect by Aeneas as a refugee at the court of Queen Dido in Carthage, and the OCR selection covers the book’s first two thirds: the Wooden Horse episode, and the chaos which ensues – including the dramatic murder of King Priam. Virgil depicts war in all its ugly complexity, and Aeneas’ response to this – as combatant in Troy, as exile in Carthage – is central to the poem’s early exposition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSupporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https:\/\/www.bloomsbury.pub\/OCR-editions-2024-2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40688434741345,"sku":"9781350156470","price":16.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27514134.jpg?v=1721829394","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781350156470-virgil-aeneid-ii-a-selection","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
