I recommend McGill and Wright’s edition…. A stunning, highly readable text.” —Rick RiordanRome’s epic origin story, brilliantly rendered in a vivid, rhythmic idiom.Crafted during the reign of Augustus Caesar at the outset of the Roman Empire, Virgil’s Aeneid is a tale of thrilling adventure, extreme adversity, doomed romance, fateful battles, and profound loss.
