The Trojan War is the cardinal point in both British and European history. According to the British chronicles their ancient kings and princes are descended from Brutus the Trojan, the great grandson of Aeneas of Troy. Aeneas was a Trojan prince who survived the Trojan War and led his people in exile to found a 'New Troy'. Aeneas's voyage lasted seven years. In mythology it is said that he founded Lavinium and became the progenitor of the Romans, through his son Ascanius and the Alban kings. The author's first book demonstrated that the Trojan War was real, but what about Aeneas's voyage? Once more, the truth is stranger than fantasy! Incredibly, a detailed historical and geographical record of the voyage was left to posterity and has survived to this day. Scholars in the Classics know it as Virgil's Aeneid , but it is regarded as a work of fiction. This belief is mistaken. Every facet of Aeneas's voyage is minutely documented and the journey can be retraced in its entirety, provided that the keys to unlocking the Aeneid's hidden knowledge are known and the geography is correct. Unbelievably, the Aeneid reveals Aeneas's voyage to have taken place in the Western Oceans! Follow in Aeneas's footsteps over land and tempestuous seas, from Troy through to his arrival at Latium and the building of his first city. Discover the truth about the Island of the Cyclopes, the terrifying whirlpool Charybdis and the monster Scylla. Learn about Aeneas's meeting with the famous Sibyl of Cumae and the reality of his descent into hell.

In ââ?¬Å"The Voyage of Aeneas of Troyââ?¬Â? author Bernard Jones delivers a fascinating sequel to his book, ââ?¬Å"The Discovery of Troy and Its Lost History.ââ?¬Â? In his first book, we were shown that the Trojan War was a very real thing and, in this book, we follow along as he proves that the voyage Aeneas took after the war was also very real. The book is based on so many historical facts it makes it very interesting as the reader is shown that this is real and not the legend that is portrayed in other books on these topics such as Virgilââ?¬â?¢s Aeneid.
While Virgilââ?¬â?¢s stories are a fictional combination of some history and some myth, ââ?¬Å"The Voyage of Aeneas of Troyââ?¬Â? is based in complete historical truth and laid out in such step-by-step detail by the author that you will be very hard-pressed to not be a true believer by the end. Every detail of Aeneasââ?¬â?¢ journey is brought forward through painstaking research by this author as we read about the Island of the Cyclopes, Charybdis, Scylla, and Aeneasââ?¬â?¢ encounter with Sibyl of Cumae. For those of you who believe that these places and people are just myths, I highly recommend reading this book and having your eyes opened to the truth. I, for one, believe that Mr. Jones delivers readers a very compelling argument on these pages that it is all real as he details Aeneasââ?¬â?¢s steps on land and across the seas.
ââ?¬Å"The Voyage of Aeneas of Troyââ?¬Â? is an excellent book. I was impressed with the amount of deep research that the author obviously put into the book. I am sure it was a very long process to obtain so much information and then put it down on paper so that the average person who does not know very much about this time in history, like me, can understand and see the entire picture. By doing this, he made a definite believer out of me. I also felt that the illustrations, maps, and other references included in the text were a perfect addition, making the words on the pages all the more believable. We are shown the real geographical locations for so many things that have normally been presented as myths that it is hard to remain a doubter of the facts behind those myths.
I was riveted by and very impressed with every part of ââ?¬Å"The Voyage of Aeneas of Troyââ?¬Â? by Bernard Jones. I think that anyone out there who is interested in the real history behind things that we have been taught to believe are legends will love this book. I highly recommend it and would also say that anyone who has not read the first book by this author, and I include myself in this statement, should go out and find it immediately. I am sure that the authorââ?¬â?¢s first book will be just as compelling as this one was.
