Editorial Reviews
Review
"Throughout, Austin's characteristic sensitivity and refined judgement combine with careful scholarship to present a balanced, sound commentary on this most difficult and crucial book of Virgil's epic poem."--The Classical World
"Virgilian studies in England were raised to a new plane with the publication of R.G. Austin's commentary on Aeneid II (1964)....Austin's contribution to our understanding of the Aeneid now stands comparison with Heinze's or Norden's."--Journal of Roman Studies

Very useful.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aeneidos: Liber Quartus (Bk.4) (Paperback)
This is an excellent translation aid. Be warned, though, that it requires knowledge of Greek.

Aeneidos,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aeneidos: Liber Secundus (Virgil) (Bk.2) (Paperback)
This book has a lot of points, but I feel that it is not put together well.
