Just like the bible, translations of classic works of fiction will always shift the original concept after such long periods of time. I've read the English version countless times, and through high school Latin I translated a good portion of this version. Also, Virgil never originally finished The Aeneid due to death from disease. His last wishes were to burn the epic because it wasn't edited and completed. Augustus ordered it be finished because it was going to connect his glory to Greece's undeniably badass history.
