How many books make up the Aeneid?

Answer 1

The Roman poet Virgil wrote the Aeneid.

Vergil (sometimes written as Virgil) is credited with writing the Aeneid in the first century BCE. He died while with Augustus in 19 BCE and, in his sickness, requested that the book be burned as he had not gone over some imperfections. Augustus disregarded that request and published the book.

Answer 2

There are twelve books in the Aeneid. Books I-VI detail the voyage from Troy to Italy. They form a voyage-epic, like the Odyssey. Books VII-XII recount the war with the Italian indigenes before Lavinia can be founded. They form a war-epic, like the Iliad.

Answer 3

The Aeneid was written in dactylic hexameter. The meter consists of lines made from six feet. In strict dactylic hexameter, each of these feet would be a dactyl (a long and two short syllables), but classical meter allows for the substitution of a spondee (two long syllables) in place of a dactyl in most positions. That would be between 12 and 18 syllables to a line.

The Aeneid consists of 12 books, written by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. It tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero who escapes the fall of Troy and travels to Italy to fulfill his destiny.
