Texts of Virgil's poetry If you'd just like to search the Latin text of Virgil's works, I recommend Virgil.org's own Virgil search engine. If you'd like to browse Virgil's text online, try Joseph Farrell's Vergil Project. If you need help with the Latin, or would prefer to browse the poem in English, the Perseus Project hosts English as well as Latin versions of the text. Morphological helps for the Latin are available, and in the case of the Aeneid, the commentaries of Servius and Conington, as well. Project Gutenberg has Latin texts and English translations of Virgil's works available for download. Click on the TXT links for an ASCII version, the ZIP links for the same text in compressed format. Greenough's edition of the Latin text is available in the TeX and HTML formats from Project Libellus, with each book or eclogue in a separate file. Plain-text versions of the Greenough text (with line numbers and some corrections) can now be viewed here at Virgil.org; to store the file on your hard drive, use your browser's save command after loading: Eclogues Georgics Aeneid Plain-text English translations can also be downloaded from MIT's Internet Classics Archive. The Latin text of Servius' commentary (ed. Thilo and Hagen, 1881) is available with parsed vocabulary at Perseus. Plain-text versions

are also available here as single files: Eclogues Georgics Aeneid The Latin text of the Appendix Vergiliana, as edited by W. V. Clausen (Oxford, 1966) is available at Biblioteca Augustana.

Thomas Jenkins (formerly of Harvard, now at Rice University) has recorded Wendell Clausen and Richard Thomas reading a number of passages from the Aeneid in Latin: 1.195f., 1.586f., 4.331f., 6.124f., 6.185f., 6.450f. (read by Clausen) and 12.926 ad finem (read by Thomas). Readings from other Roman authors include Ovid and Statius (by Kathleen Coleman), Cicero and Catullus (by Richard Tarrant), and assorted Greeky things (by Gregory Nagy and Carolyn Higbie). These recordings are naturally very useful for students trying to get a sense of what classical poetry sounds like when read by someone with a feeling for poetry and classical meters. William Harris

Virgilmurder.org
Maleuvre has been arguing for at least 34 articles and books that Virgil's poetry is rife with covert criticism of the princeps, and that Augustus eventually killed him for it. This web site summarizes those arguments. Even if you're not convinced (I'm not), readers who like the idea of a subversive Virgil will find lots of grist for their mills here. Among Maleuvre's more interesting claims: Augustus forged Virgil's Culex, along with several lines from the Aeneid. Please send comments to David Wilson-Okamura at david@virgil.org.
