We will read and discuss this famous Roman epic poem (Robert Fagles’ translation, Penguin Classics), which has been a key part of the Western canon for centuries. In addition, we will read and/or watch later interpretations of the hero Aeneas and his ill-fated love affair with Queen Dido.

Study group leader, Marilyn Scott, has led many OLLI study groups and has taught the Aeneid in Latin.

This study group will meet on Wednesdays for seven weeks beginning on September 22. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.
