"Walking through Elysium deserves the attention of anyone interested in the splendor of Vergil’s achievement in what some consider to be his finest product…The editors and their colleagues have succeeded in continuing the endless and enthralling walk of explicating Aeneid 6 with admirable vigor and welcome lucidity."- Lee Fratantuono, Maynooth University (CJ-Online)
