The correct response is: **the most significant epic poem of Rome, written to emulate Greek epics.**

The "Aeneid," authored by the Roman poet Virgil, is an epic poem that tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero who travels to Italy and becomes an ancestor of the Romans. It is structured to resemble Greek epics such as Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey," but it serves to establish Rome's legendary origins and destiny.
