This didn’t take me more than an hour, i deliberated wether I should even class it among books I have read but I have a physical copy of it so I decided to. Book VI of the Aeneid involves Aeneas entering the underworld and encountering various figures whilst there. Heaney’s translation was easy to follow unlike the other epics I have encountered, the Aeneid wasn’t a droll, however I did only read one book and not the whole thing yet unlike the others therefore cannot be 100% confident in that opinion. It wasn’t any revolutionary read for me but I also have no complaints.
