How to Spell and Pronounce Virgil and Aeneis

You should refer to the poem as the Aeneid unless you’re writing in Latin (or Greek). In English, pronunciation runs as follows:

Aeneas (the character): uh-NEE-us
Aeneid (the work): uh-NEE-ud

As for spelling the august(an) poet’s name, well… you should see this thread.

My opinion should be pretty obvious there. :wink:
