What about printing the text from the Latin Library? Not sure how many pages
you would need, but you could have them download and print the text. I'm
thinking it is fairly close to the OCT text, but I've never done a thorough
check on this. Not sure on copyright, but if you asked the students
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
14.32,
where he describes the causes of the Boudican revolt in Britain.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Paul,
A place to look would be Reading Vergil's Aeneid: An Interpretive Guide,
edited by Christine Perkell, by University of Oklahoma Press, 1999. It is
#23 in the Oklahoma Series in Classical Culture. Joseph Farrell has a
chapter in the book entitled Aeneid 5: Poetry and Parenthood (pages
two cents (or three mal, since I'm in China)- again, gut
feelings only.

I think the key part here is Creusa's comment- Who was once called your
wife... Remember that this passage comes after Venus has revealed the
destruction of the city to Aeneas (it is not the greeks doing it, but the
gods). It seems to me it is at this point that fate takes over Aeneas' life:
Re shield discussion. Does the shield serve as a reminder of the sequence
in Book VI where Aeneas is told of his and his successors future? Yet
another reminder of the destiny of the Roman race that he will see
established - he has always seemed in the previous books to need a lot of
reminders
Rich- I think the shield is one of the great mysteries in the Aeneid, but it
is an integral part of the plot. Aeneas is about to begin fighting seriously
to get his foothold in Italy- the images, like the characters in the
underworld in 6, represent his (Aeneas') and Rome's destiny.
