Virgil

Virgil lived from October 15, 70 BCE to September 21, 19 BCE. He was a classical Roman poet. He was known for his works the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the Aeneid, and some other minor poems. He was the son of a farmer who would later become one of Rome's greatest poets. The Aeneid was very popular to the point where it could be considered a national epic. Virgil received his first education at the age of 5. He would later go to Rome to study philosophy. Virgil preferred male parters, especially two slave boys. Virgil's schoolmates said that he was a very shy boy. Virgil seemed to live an unhealthy life.
