[quote="Sicilian_Summers":edd6e]Hey Albow.

As an Italian myself I came to respond - have you tried reading The Anead? It's obviously about the founder of Rome, Aneas, and his journey from the end of the Trojan war to the foundings of Rome. And yes, it is in the same style as the Illiad.[/quote:edd6e]

You mean, The Aeneid, about Aeneas. cool:

It is rather good....Virgil takes alot from Greek Poet, Homer. It's a lot like The Odyessy (sp?), and like Summers said, it's a lot like The Illiad as well. Good read - if you can be bothered.
