EMMAQuotes_mbg: John Dryden: "A man is to be cheated into passion, but to be reasoned into truth."
Empyreal06: I recommend buying the Aeneid translated by John Dryden if you want the most enjoyable experience. It’s not a word-for-word translation, but a poetic phrase-by-phrase.
A literal translation will be done in dactylic hexameter similar to a Shakespearean Iambic pentameter…
Empyreal06: …enjoyable to us as it was to the ancient world. Rhyming as a poetic tool was not in the Greco-Roman world. It’s popularity rose in the 10th century and came to us via the Chinese culture with Shi Jing and parts of the Hebrew Bible.
