The Aeneid

Amazon

The appeal of this great work, is that it shows how terrible, and impossible human life is. 

Terrible things are visited on us, by the gods themselves. Who are also subject to destructive rage. 

They pity us, but there is little they can do to help us.

I will end with one quote from the end of this book review:

Love 
Is not of our blood and he is not of our kind.
