Title: Decent Translation
Product review: This was the translation of The Aeneid I was required to read before my AP Latin course. Having read several other translations, both in print and online, I feel that Mandelbaum's translation is one of the better ones. It is not the most literal translation of Virgil's text, but it does manage to capture some of the beauty of the original Latin. Unlike other translations, it isn't bland is relatively easy to follow. I normally get rid of books that I either have no more use for or don't care much for, but this translation has made it to my bookshelf and is there to stay. I would recommend it to anyone, regardless of whether they're studying Latin.
