My daughter needed this book for school ASAP and the book came to her in less time than indicated on the order allowing her extra time to benefit from it. As far as the actual book goes it was the ONLY translation her professor considers. Fabulous price too!... more

By: Virgil
Publisher: University of California Press
September 03, 2007
First off, I'm neither a literary expert nor Latin scholar. I'm a guy that enjoys Roman history in his free time and has been riveted by the Illiad and enjoyed the Odyssey. So when I found out there was a Roman creation myth epic that was written in a similar manner to the epics of Homer, I was excited. After slogging through 200-some pages of Virgil's Aeneid, I can report that excitement has turned... more

By: Virgil
Publisher: Everyman's Library
June 30, 1992
Fitzgerald's metrical poetic translation flows smoothly across the page. His vocabulary is largely contemporary, lucid yet noble, with few archaisms, which is as it should be. Highly recommended as one of the best, if not the best, English translation available.
To those new to Virgil: The epic, written at the time of Augustus Caesar, relates the flight of a band of survivors from... more

I will keep this short and sweet. I am a fan of epic poetry. I have read a few different translations of the Iliad, Odyssey and the works of Dante. The Penguin translation is a great translation of a great story. the is excellent, with good notes. I was very impressed and look forward to read others to compare. For a beginner to epic poems, I recommend the Penguin as a starter... more

|
By: Virgil
Publisher: Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers
October 01, 1998
The structure of the book has been well thought out,with short sections of the text above the vocabulary for that text and at the bottom there is a full commentary with grammatical explanations. There are full explanations of the progress of the story, with interludes explaining the action to come and explanations of both gods and humans. Altogether, I would recommend this book to any sixth form or... more

| 6. Aeneid |
|
By: Virgil, Stanley Lombardo
Publisher: Hackett Publishing Company
March 31, 2005
The Aeneid is basically a sequel to the Iliad by Homer but told with a slant to Roman ideology and history. What Virgil has done with the Aeneid is to take Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and combine them into one work that takes the best out of the two originals and makes them valid and relevant to Roman sensibilities. (Just as Homer himself took the old legends and mythology of the Greeks and used them... more

| 8. In Search of a Homeland: The Story of the Aeneid |
|
By: Penelope Lively
Publisher: Frances Lincoln Childrens Books
October 05, 2007
I recently finished reading Rosemary Sutcliff's "Dark Ships Before Troy" and "Odysseus' Wanderings" to my six year old son and it seemed only natural that we continue with this thread by reading a children's version of the Aeneid. Penelope Lively's "In Search of a Homeland" was a natural choice. All three books are put out by the same publisher and are geared towards the same young adult readership... more

High convenience with vocabulary below and commentary. However, virtually every line contains almost all long marks. This makes scanning practice difficult. The text is small and the margins are tiny. This makes note taking difficult... more

|
By: Virgil
Publisher: Penguin Classics
October 01, 1997
If Virgil were British, this is what he would have sounded like. Much praise must be give to John Dryden for this accomplishment. For our translator has managed to tune to the Latin lyre to the beat of English metre. These fine and artful heroic rhyming couplets are without a doubt a manifestation of the aesthetic potential of the English language. This edition is preferred above all others, with... more
