READ IN LATIN/DUTCH

In The Netherlands we have several works from Latin Literature that rotate being the subject for our final exams Latin. In my year we had The Aeneis by Virgil, more exactly the sixth book, which deals with Aeneis entering the Underworld and speaking to some of his friends/enemies.

This is of course one of the greatest works in classical literature, and there are a lot of similarities with the Odyssee by Homer, one of the greatest Greek stories. If you are interested, it is nice to read both, so you can see the parallels and the differences.
