Online Latin dictionaries can be found at: univ. notre dame, freedict, humanum, persius, and freelang.

Virgil


Virgil is well served by the Internet. Excellent sites with listings covering all conceivable aspects of Virgil, his times, and influence on later literature and thought, can be found at: virgil.org, the virgil homepage, studies in the classics, voice of the shuttle and malaspina.

For bibliographies, try a bibliographic guide to virgil's aeneid. The Aeneid was a favourite with history painters, a tradition continued in book illustration.

Beginners will find the and bulfinch's mythology useful.
