Composed in twelve books, it tells of Aeneas's journey from Troy to Italy, the founding of Rome's destiny. Book VI recounts Aeneas's descent into the underworld, where he meets the dead and learns the future. Dante called Virgil his "master and author." "Sunt lacrimae rerum et mentem mortalia tangunt." "There are tears in things, and mortal things touch the mind." — The Aeneid, Book I, Line 462 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #darkacademia #studymusic #virgil
