"Reyes has done an admirable job editing Lewis's previously
unpublished translation of parts of the Aeneid. . . . Reyes's book
is deep rather than broad. . . . Reyes has done a fine job of
explaining the text, comparing Lewis's translations to the
original, and discussing the nuances of the poem itself."—Brad
