      I'm actually reading the Robert Graves translation, which I was too lazy to import manually. I love his informal introductions. So far, it's very enjoyable.
    • 5/5
      Two weeks ago I happened upon this; I had no idea of its existence before-- an 18th Cent. translation into heroic couplets of Lucan's epic "Pharsalia." English poet Nicholas Rowe here rivals Dryden's magisterial version of the "Aeneid"-- for fans of Alexander Pope, Dryden, and the Romans this is a must-have. Dear Everyman Library, PLEASE get this back in print so I can get more copies! I don't want that silly prose version from Oxford World Classics!
