Of course I don't know what level you're at linguistically - you might not even understand this text, and still need to recite it for some reason.ĭiagnosing your case, I'd say you seem a bit insensitive to syllables ending in clusters of consonants, which you often gloss over as if they were short. We're all noobs in some sphere of activity. SSSSDTĬorruit in uulnus (sonitum super arma dedere) DDDSDTĮt terram hostilem moriens petit ore cruento. Una eademque uia sanguis animusque sequuntur.

Scansion of aeneid full#
The edition includes general introduction, select bibliography, notes and full vocabulary appendices deal with metre and scansion.Can someone help me scan these lines from Book X in the Aeneid? S (spondee) and D (dactyl) are fine. At the same time it encourages them to consider the sound of the poetry and appreciate the emotional impact of the story as Virgil portrays it. This edition aims to provide students with help in translation without overwhelming them with intricate details of grammar and syntax. Book II contains some of the best Latin poetry ever written and thus makes an ideal introduction to the Aeneid. Aeneas loses campanions attempting to defend Cassandra, witnesses the death of Polites and Priam at the hands of Pyrrhus, and, restrained from killing Helen by the intervention of his divine mother Venus, makes his escape from Troy with his father and son.Īll the main elements of the Ilioupersis (sack of Troy) are included in vivid narrative. In Aeneid II Aeneas relates to Dido his own experiences of the final sack of Troy, the treachery of Sinon, the awful fate of Laocoon and the mayhem that follows once the Greek warriors descend from the Wooden Horse.
