This reader of Virgil's text features passages from the first half
of the Aeneid and is designed to help students understand and
appreciate Virgil's poem, as well as improve their Latin reading
skills. Each Latin passage is accompanied by running vocabulary,
on-page commentary notes and targeted questions. The book can be
used as a source of one-off unseen passages or as a reader for
students working through individual books or the whole poem. The
commentary notes explain references to characters, places and
events, provide linguistic and grammatical help on more challenging
Latin phrases, and point out stylistic features. The questions test
students' comprehension of the characters and storyline, and give
them practice in handling literary terms. The passages are linked
by summaries of the continuing plot, so students can grasp the
progression of the poem as a whole. An in-depth introduction sets
the story of the Aeneid in its mythological, literary and
historical contexts; a glossary of literary devices and sections on
style and metre are included. At the end of the book is a complete
alphabetical vocabulary list.
