"The Æneid of Virgil, Translated into English Verse" by Virgil tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who fled the fall of Troy and traveled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans. Virgil took the disconnected tales of Aeneas' wanderings, his vague association with the foundation of Rome, and fashioned the Aeneid into a compelling founding myth or national epic that tied Rome to the legends of Troy, explained the Punic Wars, glorified traditional Roman virtues, and legitimized the Julio-Claudian dynasty as descendants of the founders, heroes, and gods of Rome and Troy.

Voltaire (1694 - 1778) was a humanist and was very much against the traditions and teaching of the Roman Catholic Church of the eighteenth century. He believed passionately in the separation of church and state. This essay is a strongly worded criticism against the teaching of St Paul as expressed in his epistle to the Romans.
