Peace, David! *smile*

I seem to be reading that it's Latin???

From the overview:

Overview

Virgil was one of Rome’s greatest poets. He wrote during the reign of the first Roman Emperor, Augustus, and at the time of Christ’s birth: though his life was relatively short, he died at 48, his work left a lasting impression on Western literature. His poem the Aeneid, is considered the national epic of Rome. Written after the style of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, the Aeneid recounts Rome’s founding myth. The Aeneid, along with his other poetry, became standard classroom texts almost immediately following their publication. Virgil’s influence continued the development of Western poetry. Dante, for example, made Virgil his guide through hell and purgatory in his The Divine Comedy.

Select Works of Virgil contains Virgil’s major works in their Loeb Classical Library editions. Each text is included in its original Latin with an English translation for side-by-side comparison. Use Logos’ language tools to go deeper into the Latin text. You can also use the dictionary lookup tool to examine difficult English words used by the translator. Whether you are a classical scholar who wants the convenience of Virgil at a click or a student approaching Latin for the first time, Select Works of Virgil is a must.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We've made the fix to the product page, and yes, the original language volumes in this collection will be in Latin.
