Vergil's Aeneid

Front Cover
Indiana University Press, Jan 22, 1963 - History - 301 pages
In the introduction Mr. Lind provides valuable background data and a critical analysis of the Aeneid. Both the introduction and the notes--the first notes to be provided by any translator since the Victorian age--are specifically designed for those who are experts neither in Latin nor in Vergil. A short account of the life and works of Vergil, a brief bibliography, a map of Aeneas' wanderings, and a glossary of names complete the volume. -- Back cover.
