Selections from Virgil Aeneid VIII: an edition for intermediate students

This is the first intermediate-student edition of a selection from Virgil's 'Aeneid VIII.' Lines 86-279 and 558-584 are included as Latin text with an accompanying commentary and vocabulary.

Focusing on a deliberately concise extract from the original, this edition is designed to be manageable for students reading the text for the first time while also perfectly encapsulating the interest of the longer work and inspiring further study of it.

A detailed introduction explains points of historical and stylistic interest.

Book VIII of the 'Aeneid' is remarkable for the diversity of its subject matter.
