[Elena Sala · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best companion you will find for reading Virgil's Aeneid. He analyses the text in detail, and he also considers some of the text's theoretical problems related to form and technique. Also, he discusses the poetic tradition on which Virgil drew, and the elements in common he shares with Homer.
