Book Synopsis
A magnificent English translation of the Aeneid that conveys the force of the original poetry, as well as its subtle undertones, in part by employing the poet's own metrical style. Unlike other modern translators of Vergil, Patricia Johnston uses dactylic hexameter, the meter used by Vergil and by all ancient writers of epic poetry.
