It is three years now since Pantheon Poets was created to:
- provide easy access to great Latin poets and poems, even for those with limited or no Latin themselves;
- offer a reading of each poem in the original Latin to highlight how its rhythms and conventions work, and how much they differ from modern poetry;
- show a new, specially-made English translation alongside each piece; and
- highlight the influence that Latin poets have had on some English, French and German writers in the modern era.
