The Labors of Aeneas (What a Pain It Was to Found the Roman Race)

Written by Rose Williams
Review by Juliet Waldron

 

This is Vergil’s famous propaganda piece, the Aeneid, cheerfully made accessible to a modern reader who wouldn’t glance at a formal translation. It is faithful to the story and might be used in conjunction with a high school Latin class. Beyond that, it was fun for this long-ago Latin student to peruse a cheeky retelling.
