VIRGIL HUGHES Livres

This text of the first book of the Aeneid includes a detailed commentary.

Virgil's epic "Aeneid", based on the adventures of the Trojan warrior, Aeneas.

Book XI of the Aeneid covers four crucial days in Aeneas' struggle against the Latins. In it, Virgil gives us the funeral of Pallas, the great Latin war- council, Turnus' plan to ambush Aeneas and the aristeia and death of Camilla K. W. Gransden sees the second half of the Roman national epic as 'Virgil's Iliad'.

This new translation by poet Len Krisak of Virgil's classic of pastoral verse captures both the meaning and meter of the original. The text features the English and original Latin on facing pages and an introduction by Gregson Davis.
