    multum in parvo - well done, Dr Pillinger. What element unites Creusa, Dido, Lavinia and the Trojan Women? Fire.

    what translation are you referring to though as the david west version doesn't describe Camilla like that

      Thanks for this comment! F. Ahl's translation is the one I use in my teaching. It's really good for lots of reasons, but mostly because it replicates the epic 6 beat line and follows Virgil's line numbering, and it repeats the same words that Virgil uses repeatedly so it gives a good sense of the idiosyncrasies of the Latin text. The notes are excellent too. I know that this isn't the A level set text, unfortunately.
