He explains: The rhythmic line that I have developed.is based.on natural speech cadences. This is in keeping with the performative qualities of the Aeneid, which although it is literary rather than oral epic was nonetheless intended to be recited, practiacally sung. He goes on to say I have continued the practices.of composing for performance as much as for the printed page and of using actual performances to shape the translation process. The result is what seems to me to be a slightly uneven, but very readable, mix of 'poetic' and 'prosaic' elements. Lombardo supplies no notes with his translation, which perhaps is to be expected for a work shaped by the performative qualities of the Aeneid.

Whether this is a plus or a minus depends on the reader.

Ergo Iris croceis per caelum roscida pennis, mille trahens varios adverso sole colores, devolat, et supra caput adstitit: 'Hunc ego Diti sacrum iussa fero, teque isto corpore solvo.' Sic ait, et dextra crinem secat: omnis et una dilapsus calor, atque in ventos vita recessit. Then Almighty Juno, pitying Dido's long agony And hard death, sent Iris down from Olympus To free her struggling soul from its mortal coils. Her death was neither fated nor deserved But before her day and in the heat of passion.

Proserpina had not yet plucked from her head A golden lock, nor allotted her a place In the stygian gloom. And so Iris flew down Through the sky on sparkling, saffron wings, Trailing in the sunlight a thousand changing hues, And then stood above Dido's head.
