Stories from Virgil

In this vivid retelling the legendary fall of Troy is brought to life with the drama of the fateful wooden horse and the desperate warning of priest Laocoön. The narrative captures the tense debate among the Trojans, the silent threat hidden within the towering timber, and the divine forces that seal the city’s doom. Through clear, engaging prose the listener can hear the clamor of the battlefield and the eerie silence that follows the Greeks’ hidden triumph.

From the smoldering ruins emerges Aeneas, a courageous Trojan prince bound by a prophecy that his people must wander until they reach a destined shore. He wrestles with grief, love, and the capricious whims of gods such as Juno and Neptune, while leading a rag‑tag band of survivors through storm‑tossed seas and hostile lands. The early journey promises adventure, moral conflict, and the timeless question of what it means to forge a future from loss.
