This is the OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 3) prescription of Virgil''s <i>Aeneid</i> 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 <i>Aeneid</i> 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.bloomsbur
