Summary
<p>When I tell you my finger <em>smashed</em> the "order now" button--apparently there's a fragmentary translation of the <em>Aeneid </em>by C.S. Lewis that he was working on all throughout his life. It's a rhyming version in 12-syllable Alexandrine lines, and you KNOW I had to do a review of it. Here are my thoughts, as well as a little more on Lewis's theory of epic and his lifelong relationship with Rome's greatest narrative poem.</p> <p> Use code HERETICS to get 10% off Field of Greens: <a href="https://fieldofgreens.com">fieldofgreens.com</a></p> <p>Order Light of the Mind, Light of the World (and rate it five stars): <a href="https://a.co/d/2QccOfM">https://a.co/d/2QccOfM</a></p> <p>Check out a new review of the book at <em>Law and Liberty</em>: <a href="https://t.co/lHSo8yotG8">https://t.co/lHSo8yotG8</a></p>
