Misattribution of translation - Vergil's Aeneid #430

Closed wolfwords closed 3 years ago

Hi!

I'm new to GitHub so I'm not sure how to log this but I was looking for a translation of Vergil's Aeneid and it seems to have been misattributed. The Scaife viewer version seems to be the Theodore C Williams version from 1910, but it's been attributed to John Dryden (1697). Both versions exist in the Perseus Tufts database. I've attached screenshots of the first few lines from both for comparison. Thought I'd let you know!

Thanks. (:

Thank you for very much for documenting this incorrect attribution. I have corrected the metadata that was causing this display error and the edition information on the display page should appear correctly the next time the Scaife Viewer is updated.

Best,
