Description

Virgil's Aeneid IV presents a pivotal moment in the epic poem, as Dido's love for Aeneas is ignited by the goddesses Juno and Venus. Their union is short-lived, however, as Jupiter sends Mercury to remind Aeneas of his duty, prompting him to depart despite Dido's passionate pleas. The book concludes with Dido's tragic decision to take her own life. This edition of Book IV features a substantial introduction, annotation to explain language and content, and a comprehensive vocabulary, making it an accessible resource for students and scholars alike. A new translation that takes account of recent scholarship and critical approaches, this edition replaces a long-serving previous version, offering a fresh perspective on one of the most studied books in the Aeneid.
