Virgil’s ”Aeneid” with Dr. Tiffany Schubert

The After Dinner Scholar

Virgil's Aeneid tells us about the founding of Rome and begins with the destruction of Troy at the end of the Trojan War, the war recounted in The Iliad. As the Greeks burn and sack Troy, Aeneas escapes with his father, his son, his household gods, and a small band of fellow refugees to found a new Troy—greater, more powerful, and more magnificent than the old Troy—in Italy. Dr. Tiffany Schubert has been teaching The Aeneid to our Wyoming Catholic College sophomores.
