Virgil (70 BC – 19 BC) was a Roman poet, best known for his epic poem the Aeneid. He was born in the village of Andes, near Mantua in Cisalpine Gaul. Virgil was educated in Cremona, Milan, and Rome and was highly regarded by Augustus, the first Roman emperor. Virgil wrote several other works, including the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the unfinished epic, the Aeneid. The Aeneid tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan prince who escaped the destruction of Troy and eventually founded the city of Rome. Virgil's works have been highly influential in Western literature, and he is considered one of the greatest poets of all time.
