Latin Poetry Resources

Learning Latin

Latin is still read, and the essentials of the language can be learned from books, cassettes, cds and online. Virgil readings can be heard at harvard classics (Latin and translations) bolchazy and wired for books (Latin).

Modern translations and imitations have various aims, as can be seen in the work of kline, fitzgerald, valery, mandelbaum and frost.

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, or a brief selected vergil bibliography. The Aeneid was a favourite with history painters, a tradition continued in book illustration.

Beginners will find the virgil study guide and bulfinch's mythology useful.
