{"product_id":"virgil-aeneid-ii-a-selection","title":"Virgil Aeneid Ii A Selection","description":"This is the OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 3) prescription of Virgil''s \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e Book 2, lines 40–249 and the A-Level (Group 4) prescription of Book 2, lines 268–317, 370–558, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed material to be read in English for A Level. Book II of Virgil’s \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of how Troy fell and how Aeneas escaped with his family and his city’s gods. 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.Supporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https:\/\/www.bloomsbury.pub\/OCR-editions-2024-2026","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57309631414654,"sku":"NW9781350156470","price":16.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781350156470.jpg?v=1778580099","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/virgil-aeneid-ii-a-selection","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
