It's better than Iliad and Odyssey in every way.

whats it about?
>>
>>25351909
arms and a man

>>25351907
I think Odysseus is the best MC, and Priam+Achilles is the single best scene, but yeah
Aeneid >= Iliad > Odyssey
>>
>>25351909
Is about a eneid
>>
>>25351907
It really isn't.

The worth of it comes from the very polished Latin (in the bits which he actually finished to his satisfaction, which is nothing like all of it). But if you’re not reading it in Latin you aren’t getting that anyway.

>>25351907
Yup.

>My heckin poet said it so it must be true!
you have no original thoughts and should be embarrassed

The Aeneid only gets interesting in the very last line, but something about that line adds something to the rest of the poem that redeems it a bit.

Gilgamesh mogs all three and we dont even have a complete copy.
>>
>>25351907
Aeneid is a snoozefest and an uninspired imitation of Homer. Virgil knew this and wanted to burn it

Unfathomably based and objectively correct. Sumerians and their Bulls of Heaven shit all over these illiterate scribblings. Put stylus to clay and write real literature, G*tian scum, if your dog faced monkey-paws allow it, that is

Gilgamesh sucks and I'm a massive Fate Stay Night fan
