Summary
Book four of Vergil's Aeneid follows the tragic love and death of Dido, Queen of Carthage—an unfortunate casualty in Aeneas' fated quest to find a new home for the Trojans and become a founder of the Romans.
This audiobook is narrated in Latin according to the Calabrese Classical Reconstruction, with careful attention to historical features such as phonemic vowel quantities, geminated consonants, and nasalized final m.
The narration is delivered with drama and emotion, pausing at major sense units or mid-line caesuras rather than at line boundaries, to enhance comprehensibility. The delivery is also grounded in a rhythmic pulse for better contrast between light and heavy syllables so that the listener can perceive some of the varied metrical effects employed in Vergil's hexameters.
Please note: This audiobook is in Latin.
