Bag om Virgil
John Dryden's beautiful translation brings to life Virgil's pastoral poems, the Eclogues. Written in the 1st century BC, these 10 poems paint a vivid picture of rural life in ancient Rome. They are filled with shepherds, farmers, and beautiful women. But there is also an undercurrent of political and personal intrigue: betrayals, love triangles, and power struggles. This translation captures both the beauty and the drama of Virgil's work.
