Excerpt from Unprotected Females in Sicily, Calabria, and on the Top of Mount AEtna Who has not heard of Sicilian Vesper hymns? They are sounding now, as from our terrace between the palm and the aloe, we watch the sun sink into the Thyrrian sea; the moon rise bright as Ceres' sickle; the lines of palaces east and west, light up each window; the jutting mountains, graceful as rocks from Mount Olympus, fade to shadows; and feel the last heave of the tired Sirocco from Africa's sands, stir the balmy air and whisper Sleep!

This volume provides the first full-scale commentary on the eighth book of Virgil’s Aeneid, the book in which the poet presents the unforgettable tour of the site of the future Rome that the Arcadian Evander provides for his Trojan guest Aeneas, as well as the glorious apparition and bestowal of the mystical, magical shield of Vulcan on which the great events of the future Roman history are presented – culminating in the Battle of Actium and the victory of Octavian over the forces of Antony and Cleopatra. A critical text based on a fresh examination of the manuscript tradition is accompanied by a prose translation.
