Aeneid: Book 8 - UK University Tutorial Press - 23 17
"Book 10 is one of the most powerful books of the Aeneid as it offers a study of the moral complexities of war and presents episodes which are key to the understanding of the moral economy of the poem as a whole. Taken up almost entirely by battle-scenes, it has often been recognized as one of the most Iliadic books of the Aeneid. Unfortunately, it is also one of the least read books of the poem as readers usually favor the "Odyssean" first half. This volume is intended for use at the intermediate level or higher provides a generous amount of basic information about grammar and syntax so that students of varying experience will have what they need to translate the Latin. At the same time, it addresses issues of interpretation and style so that students at all levels will have a richer experience of the poem. Extensive bibliographic notes have been added to help readers pursue special areas of interest"--
