Vergil''s Aeneid was written in twelve books in the last years of the poet''s life (29-19 BC). It was designed as a national epic of Rome and is one of the greatest poems of world literature. The tenth book, which contains some of the poem''s most dramatic war-narrative, has been unjustlyneglected by Vergilian scholars, and this is the first major commentary to deal exclusively with it. Its aim is to explain Vergil''s text for the modern reader. A full introduction examines the literary aspects of Aeneid 10; the scholarly commentary assesses Vergil''s skill as a Latin poet and hiscareful and original use of literary models (especially the Iliad of Homer).

A facing Englishtranslation makes the text accessible to those with no knowledge of Latin. Less
