“The Aeneid is pretty great. Try the Dryden translation.”
Yes, the Dryden translation is excellent, a joy to read. Penguin has an inexpensive edition: https://www.amazon.com/Virgils-Aeneid-Penguin-Classics-Virgil/dp/0140446273/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510981753&sr=8-1&keywords=dryden+aeneid+penguin
When I was in High School, we read (parts of) the Aeneid in Latin. (Wish I could remember enough Latin to quote from it, now.)
