Famous roman epics?

The Aeneid by Virgil is the most famous, about one of the survivors of the Trojan War, Aeneas. Aeneas was the son of Venus and Anchises, and led the remnants of Troy to find new lands. Like most heroes, Aeneas was hated by a god (in this case, Juno). However, he eventually brought the Trojans to Italy and settled in the place that was to become Rome. Thebaid by Statius, written during the reign of Domitian, deals with the myth of the sons of Oedipus, Eteocles and Polynices (also known as the myth of the Seven Against Thebes). Argonautica by Valerius Flaccus, also written during the Flavian period, deals with the myth of Jason and the Argonauts. Pharsalia by Lucan is about the civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompey.
