The Aeneid - Part B - The birth of Rome

This resource contains a detailed and comprehensive breakdown of the second half of Virgil’s Aeneid (often known as ‘The Iliad’ half), with complex notes and questions used to probe student understanding; this is particularly useful for students studying ‘The World of the Hero’ as part of OCR’s A-Level Classical Civilisations course.

Resource includes:

• Detailed notes on books 7 - 12
• Questions to deepen student understanding
• Theme and character analysis
• Political/Social/Religious analysis
• Ancient heroic qualities (Pietas/Furor etc…)
• Comparative notes to The Odyssey

Please note that whilst this contains all essential elements of the course (such as an analysis of plot, theme, characters, context and concepts), it SHOULD NOT be the only resource students use for their course.
