Virgil: Aeneid IX by Virgil

Virgil: Aeneid IX by Virgil

This edition, first published by Macmillan in 1955, continues to serve generations of students taking GCSE. It has a workmanlike introduction (including a section on scansion), notes and vocabulary, all enabling the student to tackle Virgil's poetry for the first time.

Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro, 70-19 BC) was born in the north of Italy and completed his education in Rome. Generally considered Rome's greatest poet, he wrote Eclogues, 37 BC, and Georgics, 29 BC. He then devoted the rest of his life to the composition of his greatest work, the epic poem the Aeneid.
