Bloomsbury 3PL Virgil

In "Aeneid II" Aeneas relates to Dido his own experiences of the final sack of Troy, the treachery of Sinon, the awful fate of Laocoon and the mayhem that follows once the Greek warriors descend from the Wooden Horse. Aeneas loses campanions attempting to defend Cassandra, witnesses the death of Polites and Priam at the hands of Pyrrhus, and, restrained from killing Helen by the intervention of his divine mother Venus, makes his escape from Troy with his father and son.
