Jasper Griffin delves into the life and times of Virgil, a pivotal figure navigating the tumultuous transition from the Roman Republic to the Empire. Through rich storytelling, Griffin captures the essence of Virgil's world, portraying the historical, social, and political upheavals that shaped his poetry.

Virgil's experiences are intricately woven into his verses, reflecting his personal struggles and the broader cultural shifts of his era. The poet's thoughts resonate with themes of duty, fate, and the divine, echoing the hopes and fears of a civilization in flux.

This exploration invites a deeper understanding of Virgil as both a poet and a voice of an age.
