Virgil (70-19 BC) was an ancient Roman poet and is considered the greatest poet of ancient Rome and one of the greatest poets in the Western canon. Three of his works survive in their entirety: the Ecologues, the Georgics, and the epic poem about the founding of Rome, the Aeneid. John Dryden (1631-1700) was an English poet, critic, translator and playwright. He was named Poet Laureate of England in 1668, and his name literally defined the literary period of Restoration England (1660-1714) – known as the Age of Dryden. Dryden was one of the first English writers to translate the Aeneid into English.
