This reader of Virgil's text features passages from the second 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 introduction sets the story
of the Aeneid in its mythological, literary and historical context
and includes a glossary of literary devices and essays explaining
the principles of Virgil's word order and metre. At the end of the
book is a complete alphabetical vocabulary list.
