There are three works that are at the source of Western culture: the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid. After you have completed your study of Homer’s two works, Virgil’s epic story of the founding of Rome, the Aeneid, is your next logical Great Book to study.
Now your students can get the background they need to understand the Aeneid with our instructional DVDs, featuring Elizabeth Pierce, one of Highlands Latin School’s master teachers. Mrs. Pierce’s compelling lectures will give your students a better understanding of the background and culture of the time period, as well as the themes inherent in this great epic.
