Joseph Luzzi, a professor of comparative literature at Bard College, delves into what makes Virgil’s great work tick. This ancient poem that recounts the myth of how the Roman empire was founded is still relevant today, Luzzi says. He explores the brilliant formal and thematic qualities that give the Aeneid its unusual force and explains how it continues—as well as departs from—the storyline of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey.
