The Aeneid!




This week we leap from eighth century Greece to the early Roman empire-- a big change!  Here are a few resources you might find useful:

Suetonius' Life of Virgil
A Bibliographical Guide to Virgil's Aeneid
Virgil.org-- links to bibliography, maps, and much more
Aeneid 4 Read Aloud in Latin
Virgilmurder  If you are fond of conspiracy theories, you'll enjoy this site; its author believes that Augustus murdered Virgil because of covert criticism of his rule in the Aeneid.
