Description
"This guide helps readers to engage with the poetry, thought, and background of Virgil's great epic, suggesting both the depth and the beauty of Virgil's poetic images and the mental images with which the Romans lived." "The book discusses in detail important illustrative passages in their poetic, historical, and intellectual contexts. David O. Ross includes short introductions to key topics such as Roman religion and the Roman concept of "character," as well as an appendix that clarifies how to read and hear the poem's Latin hexameter." "This guide is an indispensable companion for anyone reading Virgil's Aeneid for the first time, in Latin or translation, and for readers seeking a deeper understanding of this classic epic poem."--BOOK JACKET.
