"Virgil's Aeneid" is an English translation of Virgil's Aeneid by John Dryden. Dryden's version is classical rendition of a timeless Roman myth. The language is readable for a contemporary audience; however, there are occasional phrases that may be considered archaic. The work was translated from classical Latin into English. Charles W. Eliot edited the current version, which was published in 1909. The work contains all twelve books. The Aeneid is about the journey of Aeneas, the epic hero who finds and builds the empire of Rome after the Trojan War.
