4.0 out of 5 stars
Useful, but not the best,
This review is from: Aeneid: Books I-VI (Bks. 1-6) (Paperback)
Although the notes contain helpful explanations of the mythology in the Aeneid, their grammatical commentary is a little sparse. I wouldn't recommend either this book or Williams' Aeneid VII-XII to the beginning Latin student. When I was beginning to study Virgil, I found this book to be incredibly more helpful: Virgil: Aeneid II (BCP Latin Texts) (Bk. 2).
For the more advanced student, however, the notes should be adequate. I like especially that this book and its sister edition (Virgil Aeneid 7-12 (Bks. 7-12)) contain the entire Latin text of the Aeneid in two neat packages. It is frustrating to try to piece together Virgil's complete text with expensive Latin-English translations of single sections of the Aeneid. |
