I read in the 11/2/2009 edition of
The Weekly Standard about a letter written to
New Criterion magazine by Sarah Ruden, whose translation of the
Aeneid I am using in my AP Vergil class this year. So I decided to see if I could locate the letter at the magazine's website, and I was astonished and delighted to learn that the blog of
New Criterion is called
Arma virumque, arms and the man, the opening words of Vergil's
Aeneid, and a clear explanation for the title is given in the sidebar at the link above.
