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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupporting resources are available on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbury.pub\/OCR-editions-2024-2026\"\u003eCompanion Website\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455872778476,"sku":"9781350156470","price":38.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350156470.jpg?v=1774863135","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/virgil-aeneid-ii-a-selection-by-dominic-jones-9781350156470","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
