This is the endorsed publication from OCR and Bloomsbury for the
Latin AS and A-Level (Group 3) prescription of Aeneid Book XI,
lines 1-224, and the A-Level (Group 4) prescription of Aeneid Book
XI, lines 498-521, 532-596, 648-689, and 725-835, giving full Latin
text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that
also covers the prescribed text to be read in English for A Level.
In Book XI Pallas, the warrior son of Evander who was killed by
Turnus, is buried, amid the mourning of his father and the Trojans.
After a truce to collect and bury the dead on both sides, fighting
resumes, during which the warrior-maiden Camilla battles bravely
for the Latins before being killed. The events of the book take up
just four days: Pallas' funeral occupies the first; the second and
third are devoted (briefly) to the truce and burials; the fourth,
taking up the second half of the book, is concerned with Camilla's
aristeia, in which she is likened to an Amazon. Resources are
available on the Companion Website
