[Diana in Wisconsin]

[tumblindice]

In Greek. Then had to translate it into Phoenician, backwards, using a hand mirror and quill pens.

The Aeneid is pretty great. Try the Dryden translation.

And I’m willing to bet that when Sarah Ruden came out with her translation of the Aeneid in 2009 - the first by a woman - that it didn’t receive the same hoopla that this Emily Wilson translation is. https://www.amazon.com/Aeneid-Vergil/dp/0300151411/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1510982099&sr=1-5

Then again maybe Ruden didn’t get the star treatment because she’s a Christian, a Pauline apologist ( https://www.amazon.com/Paul-Among-People-Reinterpreted-Reimagined/dp/0385522576/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1510982099&sr=1-2 ) and a fan of St. Augustine ( https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Modern-Library-Augustine/dp/0812996569/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1510982099&sr=1-1

Then again, maybe I’m just being unfair to Liberals. Maybe. Probably not.
