Question

What is written about in The Aeneid?

Answer 1

I may be incorrect but I think it is B. Roman Religion.

There are four choices;

A. Daily life in Rome.

B. Roman religion.

C. The founding of Rome.

D. The Roman emperor Augustus.

And to me, B sounds the most reasonable from what I know about the story which is a story about a character who left Rome and traveled to Italy. Where he became the ancestor of Romans.

I know the answer isn´t C because the founding of Rome was a different story about two brothers. And there isn´t anything in the story about Augustus, I think, so it can´t be D. So it would be A or B, and B seems more reasonable.

Answer 2

The theme: The Aeneid has several themes. The overarching theme is the escape from Troy and the beginnings of Rome. The story tells of how Aeneas and a few other Trojans escape the destruction of their city and sail west, settling in what became Rome. Another theme is destiny or fate.
