The Æneid for Boys and Girls: Told From Virgil in Simple Language
Paperback

Excerpt from The Æneid for Boys and Girls: Told From Virgil in Simple Language
The Greeks besieged the city of Troy for nearly ten years. They could not take it because the walls were so high and strong - some said that they had been built by the hands of gods - but they kept the Trojans inside. This had not always been so. There had been a time when the Trojans had gone out and fought with their enemies on the plain, sometimes they had beaten them in battle, and once they had very nearly burnt their ships. But this was all changed. They had lost some of the bravest of their chiefs, such as Hector, the best of the sons of Priam, and Paris the great archer, and many great princes, who had come from the countries round about to help them.
