The Aeneid by Virgil | Book 6

[@smelisi]

I love listening to these and then reading the actual text. Even a good translation can get you lost, so having these tidy little summaries allows for you to navigate the more obscure bits of poetry and still get what's going on.

In what version of the trojan war historic poems was achilles heel mention and the trojan horse ???

[@jakelester663]

The trojan horse is mentioned in book II of the Aeneid. Achilles heel, see Iliad

[@dustinsavage2832]

There was originally a cycle of 8 poems surrounding the events of the Trojan War, of which the Iliad and the Odyssey were only 2, the other 6 being lost to history. A late antiquity scholar named Proclus gave an outline of this 'Epic Cycle' as it was called. Achilles' death would've been told in book 3 of the cycle "The Aethiopis", and the Trojan Horse would've been in the "Iliou Persis" (sack of Troy). It's likely Virgil had access to the complete cycle and drew heavily from it for the Aeneid.
