About The Descent to Hell: From the Aeneid, Book 6 (Unabridged)
Among his many other attributes, James Elroy Flecker was a skilled linguist and an expert translator of Latin poetry. In 1913, he planned to write a book to be entitled An interpretation in blank verse of Virgil, Aeneid VI, based on the poetic value of the sounds, together with Latin text and ten prefaces . Flecker described the intention of the book as follows: "The book is simply an attempt to do a translation of Virgil as satisfactory as Fitzgerald's Omar— a translation which will utterly eclipse the very numerous and very feeble attempts hitherto existing." The surviving translation consists of lines 1-19 and 264-547 from book six, which describe Aeneas' encounter with Sibyl and his visit to the underworld.
