W.R. Johnson's Introduction, a shortened version of his masterly Introduction to that translation, will be welcomed by both beginning and seasoned students of the Aeneid, and by students of Roman history, classical mythology, and Western civilization. Average Rating:
 Rating: - A good tranlation of a classicAs a Latin teacher, the Aeneid is one of my favorite books of all time. This is an excellent edition for someone who wants to get the of Aeneas as well as a good taste of Vergil's style without the long drawn out sectoins. It is a fast, exciting read. I also recommend Lombardo's "Essential Homer". You get the Iliad and Odyssey in one edition. What else could be better?
