Why did vergil write the Aeneid?
There are many reasons why the Aeneid was written. First off it was a commissioned work that Vergil didn't really want to write but was forced to, and it was incomplete at the time of Vergil's death. Possible other reasons why it was written are to validate the origins of Rome as mandated by Fate and the Gods (establish lineage of Augustus/ Rome), depict the origin of the dispute with Carthage, and to teach. The teaching was more of a social than a academic teaching though, by reading or knowing the Aeneid children would learn the appropriate funeral practices, the importance of piety, and so many other morals.
In the Aeneid why do the Trojans assume that the Greeks have sailed for home?
In Book II of the Aeneid the Trojans notice that the Greek ships have gone from the beach in front of Troy. In fact the Greeks have only moved their navy around the headland to Tenedos - but the Trojans don't know this. (Vergil makes it clear that the Trojans are ready to believe that the Greeks are gone, because that is what they want to believe). The Trojans leave the city and walk around the abandoned Greek camp. They find the Wooden Horse, and they capture Sinon - a Greek warrior who claims to have deserted the Greek army. Sinon confirms that the Greeks have abandoned the siege - but he is a carefully planted spy. (Sinon will later be the one who opens the horse once it is within Troy's walls).
How did Augustus want to be remembered?
Emperor August, the first Roman emperor, cared much about how history would remember him. He had various pieces of art created after him that depicted him as strong and dignified. It was important that he be seen as bringing Rome into an era of peace. He also wanted to emphasize his value for family.
What are facts about Tiberius?
Background of Tiberius: Tiberius was born in 42 BC. He was the step-son of Augustus and his mother was Livia. Tiberius father was also called Tiberius - his name was Tiberius Nero. His father was from the Claudian family who was very rich and powerful. When Tiberius was only 3 years old, his mother LIvia, divorced Tiberius Nero and married Ocatvian, who would later become the emperor Augustus. Tiberius real father, Tiberius Nero, died when Tiberius was nine years old. As he was growing up, his step-father Augustus sent him on missions to give him experience so he could become a leader and rule the Roman Empire. For example, he was sent to fight with his brother, Nero Claudis Drusus, to fight against the Germans in the Alps, north of Italy. Tiberius married about 20 BC, when he was 22 to Vipsania Agrippina, who was the daughter of Augustus' favorite general Agrippa. In 13 BC, they had a baby son, who they names Julius Caesar Drusus. Agrippa died in 12 BC and Augustus forced Tiberius (who was 30 years old) to divorce Vipsania and marry Agrippa's widow, Julia Caesaris, even though Tiberius didn't want to. Tiberius won many battles. But he was very unhappy with his life. In 6 BC, when Tiberius was 36 years old, he quit his army positions and announced he was moving to the island of Rhodes. His step-father, Augustus was upset because he had no other sons to succeed him. After Augustus died, Tiberius was forced to come back to Rome and become the next emperor.

Why did Caesar Augustus want virgil to compose a story about the founding of rome?
Augustus commissioned Virgil to write a poem about the founding of Rome for a historical identity. Up until the time of Virgil, Rome's history had been hazy and there were several interpretations of the Romulus and Remus affair. Virgil took the strands of myth and wove them together.

What is the best translation of the aeneid or what translation of the aeneid should you buy?
As with all questions of translations it depends on what you're looking for. For those who are looking to read for pleasure and want to keep things simple yet vivid, then Fitzerald, Fagles, and Lombardo are your best picks. None of them are extremely accurate to Virgil's original in terms of rhythm, syntax, diction, or wordplay, but are highly readable and accessible in English. Of that group I would recommend Fitzerald. Moving upwards in difficulty/accuracy we have Allen Mandlebaum, whom I think strikes a good balance between extremes while remaining poetic. Mandlebaum is often my first pick for translations. F. Jackson Knight renders the work in prose, which means he's likely the most accurate word-for-word available, but you do lose the "poetry". My current two favorite renderings of The Aeneid are Sarah Ruden and Frederick Ahl, with a preference for the latter. Ahl is a lifelong fan of The Aeneid and spent over a decade translating it, with the intent on staying as faithful to Virgil as possible on as many levels as possible. His copious notes also help illuminate the historical context and many of Virgil's references. There's also the classic John Dryden translation, but it was written in the 18th Century and may seem anachronistic today, but it's also some of the finest poetry ever written in the English language.
