The Aeneid
Troy is being destroyed by the Greeks. Aeneas and his fellow Trojans have fled their homeland to search for safety. They end up in Italy and are welcomed with hospitality. Aeneas had been informed by the gods that something glorious would await him there- but he has no idea what. Is it wise to go blindly into a completely different land from what they know? How could Aeneas know whether or not this is another one of the gods games in human life? They have proved fickle in the past. Can he trust them now?
