{"product_id":"9780865165564","title":"Labors of Aeneas","description":"The Labors of Aeneas is a delightful retelling of Vergil's Aenied that has changed the tone, but not the tale.  Ever-faithful to the story's facts, Rose Williams recounts Vergil's epic in a modern's voice-in witty, droll fashion.  Readers with little or no classical background can savor the story, and easily follow a narrative renowned for its complexity.  Those who already know the story will recognize, through tears of laughter, the unwitting narrator: the first-time reader, agape at the great cultural challenge this epic has always posed.\u003cp\u003eThis volume includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe story of The Aeneid, Books I-XII, retold \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack and white illustrations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA glossary of gods prominent in The Aeneid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e Herein, be forewarned, on can read how Aeneas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eStarted off life in the fast lane, as son of a goddess \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEscaped from burning Troy, only to find himself one wife short \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrudged through dreary goo in the underworld \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGot the best shield ever via his stepfather's rush job \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished off Turnus, insuring that future Romans could slip and slide their way to world domination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  ","brand":"Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47018627498224,"sku":"9780865165564","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780865165564_p0.jpg?v=1763839949","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780865165564","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
