The Aeneid of Virgil is a classic epic poem that tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero who travels to Italy to found the city of Rome. This particular version of the poem, translated into Scottish verse by Gawin Douglas and published in 1839, is the second volume of the complete work. The translation is faithful to the original Latin text, but the use of Scottish dialect and verse adds a unique flavor to the poem. The book includes detailed notes and commentary to help readers understand the historical and cultural context of the story, as well as the complex themes and symbolism that are woven throughout the text.
