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.
