Text of Note

"In Aeneid II Aeneas relates to Dido his own experiences of the final sack of Troy, the treachery of Sinon, the awful fate of Laocoon and the mayhem that follows once the Greek warriors descend from the Wooden Horse. Aeneas loses companions attempting to defend Cassandra, witnesses the death of Polites and Priam at the hands of Pyrrhus, and, restrained from killing Helen by the intervention of his divine mother Venus, makes his escape from Troy with his father and son." "This completely new edition aims to provide students with help in translation without overwhelming them with intricate details of grammar and syntax. At the same time it encourages them to consider the sound of the poetry and appreciate the emotional impact of the story as Virgil portrays it."--Jacket.
