The Aeneid - Book Six: Highway to Hell

Teachers would call it 'lively,' scholars would call it 'unorthodox,' and I'd call it 'honest'...I re-interpret Virgil's Aeneid with a dash of realism and all the underlying sarcastic comments necessary, reminding everyone that the classics are for all of us, always.

Bonus points: if you're studying Classics right now, I made sure to include all those important bits that'll definitely come up in your exams...
