RE: VIRGIL: Loeb for student text?

[James Stewart]

I would echo the earlier reply on staying away from the Loebs- they are good 
for a Latin-English quick check on something, but could be very dreadful for 
a student you want to inspire to read. There are several good translations 
of the Aeneid- can't remember off hand the editors- not sure on the Georgics 
and Eclogues.

I'm planning to teach the Eclogues, Georgics, and Aeneid next semester in 
translation. Has anyone used the Loebs for this? Some of my students will 
be classics majors, but I'm assuming most will not.
