This is an easy-to-read retelling in modern English. People who read this retelling first will find the original work much easier to read and understand. I would like to see my retellings of classic literature used in schools, so I give permission to the country of Finland (and all other countries) to buy one copy of this eBook and give copies to all students forever. I also give permission to the state of Texas (and all other states) to buy one copy of this eBook and give copies to all students forever. I also give permission to all teachers to buy one copy of this eBook and give copies to all students forever.Teachers need not actually teach my retellings. Teachers are welcome to give students copies of my eBooks as background material. For example, if they are teaching Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey," teachers are welcome to give students copies of my "Virgil's 'Aeneid': A Retelling in Prose" and tell students, "Here's another ancient epic you may want to read in your spare time."The AENEID is well worth reading. In addition to being the epic of ancient Rome, the AENEID contains the fullest surviving ancient account of the fall of Troy. It also contains the story of the tragic love affair between Aeneas and Dido, the queen of Carthage - a story that Virgil apparently invented. After Troy is defeated in the Trojan War, the story of the Trojans is not over. Aeneas, the son of the immortal goddess Venus and the mortal man Anchises, is fated to go to Italy and become an important ancestor of the Romans. But fulfilling his fate is not easy. Juno, wife of the most powerful god, Jupiter, hates him. She wants him to fall in love with Dido, Queen of Carthage, so that he will stay in Carthage and never reach Italy. He does fall in love with Dido, but he is a man of PIETAS, a man who does his duty, and he takes a journey to the Land of the Dead, where he meets his late father, Anchises, who shows him future Romans, and who tells him, "Other peoples, no doubt, will be better than the Romans in many endeavors. Others will be better at creating sculptures, whether of bronze or of marble. Others will be better at public speaking. Others will be better at astronomy. But Romans must remember to rule well the peoples of the world, including their own people. Romans must remember to rule while encouraging peace. Romans must remember to spare the defeated, just as Romans must remember to defeat the proud. Good government and good laws will be the arts of the Romans." Although Aeneas is usually a man of PIETAS (proper, dutiful behavior), at times he is a man of FUROR (rage or passion). We can ask what he gives to the Romans as their ancestor, and we can ask whether he follows his late father's advice. At the moment when Aeneas knows that he has won the war that Juno forced him to fight, that he knows that he has conquered his main enemy, and that he knows that he will fulfill his fate, what happens? Does he fill his heart with PIETAS - or with FUROR?Teachers, the author gives you permission to buy one copy of this book per course and share it without extra cost with all the students in that course.

"The Aeneid of Virgil" is one of the greatest works of Classical antiquity. This study by the Virgilian scholar R. Deryck Williams, first published in 1987 and long unavailable, sets the "Aeneid" in its historical literary background and shows how Virgil related his own world of the newly established Roman Empire to the experience of the past. The poetic qualities of epic are analysed and illustrated by frequent quotations from the Latin, always with prose translations. The book will be appreciated by students and teachers of literature, and by knowledgeable non-academic readers. James Morwood's new Foreword for this edition contains an appreciation of R.D. Williams' work and provides a select bibliography of later writing on the subject.

This book contains the complete text of Aeneid XI, together with a rendering into Latin prose and a running summary of the whole in English. Its main intended audience is A-Level Latin students in England. Aeneid XI is one of the set texts by the OCR Board for 2020 and 2021. A larger and less easily defined audience is anyone, in any time or place, who wants to read Vergil, but whose Latin is not ready for the challenge. I have reordered the words in a more obvious sequence. I have replaced many words with more natural alternatives. I have supplied pronouns and verbs and prepositions that could not be fitted into the metrical structure. I have broken up the paragraphs, and formatted the whole as if it were a novel. The advantage is that the result is still Latin. It is Latin that most A-Level students will be able to read without too much looking in a dictionary - and not too much head-scratching thereafter. Unlike any English version, it is obviously related to the original, and is a fair key to understanding the original. It also gives students a piece of Latin that they can read at length, and that will be good practice for the unseen translation. Sample of the Content Original Oceanum interea surgens Aurora reliquit: Aeneas, quamquam et sociis dare tempus humandis praecipitant curae turbataque funere mens est, vota deum primo victor solvebat Eoo. Ingentem quercum decisis undique ramis constituit tumulo fulgentiaque induit arma, Mezenti ducis exuvias, tibi, magne, tropaeum, bellipotens: aptat rorantis sanguine cristas telaque trunca viri et bis sex thoraca petitum perfossumque locis clipeumque ex aere sinistrae subligat atque ensem collo suspendit eburnum. Interpretation Interim Aurora oriens deseruit mare. Aeneas victor, primo mane reddebat vota Diis, quamvis et urgeat solicitudo dandi tempus sociis tumulandis, et animus turbatus sit morte Pallantis. Defigit in colle quercum excelsam, ramis circum amputatis, et imponit ei arma splendida, spolia ducis Mezentii, quod erat trophaeum tibi sacrum, O Mars, magne Deus belli. Accommodat quercui cristas stiltantes sanguine, et spicula hominis fracta, et loricam appetitam et apertam duodecim locis, et annectit laevae parti clipeum ex aere, et suspendit collo gladium manubrio eburneo. Other Classical Texts by Sean Gabb on Amazon: Acts of the Apostles: A Parallel Text - Greek, Latin, English Aeneid VI: Text with Notes and English and Latin Prose Versions Ars Grammatica Stories from Paul the Deacon Stories from the Life of Christ From the Amazon Reviews: This text is a great collection of passages from the life of Christ that perfectly fills the need for an intermediate reader, and has a great selective dictionary at the end with just the words used in the texts, so it is quick to use. This suited my level perfectly as the passages were not too complex, but beyond beginner level, and include enough repetition in the stories and dialogue to help memory retention. (Stories from the Life of Christ) [G]oing from Latin lessons to real Latin texts is a huge jump. Here the author has chosen later texts written by Paul the Deacon.... The Latin is simpler as a result and it makes the book a very useful stepping stone.... [My Latin has now] gone rusty, and this book looks an ideal way for me to recapture some of that lost prowess. Also it has a vocabulary.... Yes I have a Latin dictionary, but experience... has shown me the value of having a vocabulary or dictionary at the back. (Stories from Paul the Deacon)
