Lavinia
In Vergilius's Aeneas, the brave warrior Aeneas defeats his opponents, marries Lavinia, the daughter of the king of Latium, and lays the foundations of the Roman Empire. Lavinia has neither a prominent role nor a voice of her own in the epic. Ursula K. Le Guin takes this neglected character, gives her the voice she deserves, and tells, through her eyes and in her language, what the great poet did not tell in his epic. Lavinia questions the nature of war and male-dominated society; examines the values that make people human and society society; A creative novel that blurs the line between fiction and reality by highlighting the power of literature: the own saga of a powerful woman with a small role in a great saga.
