Virgil's epic poem The Aeneid is about a great warrior, Aeneas, who escapes from the city of Troy just before it falls to the Greeks at the
end of the Trojan War. After a long journey, Aeneas and his men arrive
in Italy where they fight with the Latins. He marries the Latin princess
Lavinia and founds the civilization that will eventually become Rome.
In Ursula K. Le Guin's novel Lavinia, the main character is a Latin
princess named Lavinia who marries the Trojan hero Aeneas and
becomes involved in the politics and conflicts between the Trojans and
the Latins in Italy. Eventually Lavinia comes to feel that she is at the
mercy of the writer Virgil himself, and that her world is not real.
