It is a narrative relayed in retrospect by Aeneas as a refugee at the court of Queen Dido in Carthage, and the OCR selection covers the book's first two thirds: the Wooden Horse episode, and the chaos which ensues - including the dramatic murder of King Priam. Virgil depicts war in all its ugly complexity, and Aeneas' response to this - as combatant in Troy, as exile in Carthage - is central to the poem's early exposition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSupporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https: \/\/www.bloomsbury.pub\/OCR-editions-2024-2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominic Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350156477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350156470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.43w x 1.00d","brand":"Dominic Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077679247615,"sku":"9781350156470","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d33c74f-fc94-412c-9c73-38c1e108667e.jpg?v=1685471239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/virgil-aeneid-book-ii-dominic-jones-9781350156470","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
