Aeneid - Book IV

[Pacifica]

It seems possible that the rule (or at least a tendency along those lines) existed at some point, but this would be the kind of thing that tends to change over time.

While doing online research, came upon this thread and website. Glad my commentary on 4 was of some use. Can confirm that Aeneid 1 is about two-thirds done in first draft; plans to do 9 first were changed to address the more pressing textual and other problems of 1, as well as to finish the “Dido” books.

Definitely didn’t expect this.

Thanks again for your work. And happy to hear about Book 1!

Those interested in A. 4 may be interested in this recent article (free online) that more or less supplements the Brill commentary:

So just to confirm: there's nothing to be used with a first-person verb?

I'm not aware of anything.

I haven’t checked it out, but I thought I’d post it since it seems like an interesting approach and a good resource for beginning/intermediate readers.
