Thank you so much for this. We're tackling The Aeneid in my Lit class and my instructor totally lost me when explaining hexameter. This helps make it much more understandable.

@HazenMustaine Thanks! It is a little hard to explain in one shot. You'll get the hang of it.

Thanks. I'm glad you found it useful. Good luck with Vergil. He's a great author once you've cracked his code.

Good stuff!
