I sing of arms and the man , he who , exiled by fate ,
first came from the coast of Troy to Italy , and to
Lavinian shores – hurled about endlessly by land and sea ,
by the will of the gods , by cruel Juno’s remorseless anger ,
long suffering also in war , until he founded a city
and brought his gods to Latium : from that the Latin people
came , the lords of Alba Longa , the walls of noble Rome .
Muse , tell me the cause : how was she offended in her divinity ,
how was she grieved , the Queen of Heaven , to drive a man ,
noted for virtue , to endure such dangers , to face so many
trials ? Can there be such anger in the minds of the gods ?
