Aeneid

Maro, mentioned in Keats 'Ode to Apollo' is an epic poet made famous by his incomplete work, [|Aeneid]. This link is a brief version of this story that has similarities with another famous epic poet, Homer. Homers 'Iliad' and the 'Aeneid' share a character, named Aeneas. The 'Iliad' is 24 books long but this link provides an in depth summary of the story; I[|liad]. These two epic poems deal with themes of war and gods. Interestingly Aeneas is protected by Apollo in the 'Iliad' and may perhaps have a link to Keats's Ode to Apollo. Jessikans
