Caesar's Commentaries

Abou,
Since you are so cool - could you offer up - in your opinion - the best translation of Virgil's "The Aenid". I am looking for a new edition that is English AND Latin. Preferably a translation with English on one page, Latin on the other - so as one can read the Latin and check the English (or vice versa). Much thanks.

Well, the two big translations out there are by Fitzgerald and the other by Fagles. The thing with Fagles is that he makes a great work of English from the translations while Fitzgerald is much easier to read. Depends on what you're looking for, but both solid works.

As far as a dual-language book goes, the only one I can think of is Virgil by Fairclough printed by Harvard. It is very old-school 1900s, if you know what I mean, but it works. There are two volumes that cover all of Vergil's work, which is pretty awesome - especially since the Georgics is considered by some to be the best in poetry.
