Aeneid: Books I-VI

This was the first full books I ever translated myself and read entirely in another language. It really expanded my idea of poetry because it is an epic poem, as well as an extremely old text, and an amazing plot. One of my favorite things that I learned from reading this poem so indepth was how to arrange words. Latin sentences have very few order requirements so authors are able to amazing things with sentence structure, and Virgil is a master. One of my favorite scenes is when he describes a storm that Aeneid is trapped in and the adjectives describing it actually swirl through the poem and encircle all the nouns and adjectives describing Aeneid and his ship. Ever since, I've been a lot more aware of my sentence structure.
