Jeopardy! final solution: Monday, July 21, 2025

The clue and solution for today's final question are provided below.

Clue: A 17th-century English translation of the Aeneid rhymes "My soul remains" and "perpetual pains" with this 2-word phrase.

Solution: What are Elysian Plains?

The Aeneid, penned in Latin by Virgil in the 19th century BCE, is a Roman epic. It outlines the journey of the Trojan hero Aeneas from Troy and the end of the Greek dynasty to the founding of Rome. In a 17th-century translation of the original text to English by John Dryden, the author embodies Aeneas' grief and yearning for a peaceful afterlife in a couplet, which rhymes the mentioned phrases with the Elysian Fields or Elysian Plains of the Underworld, where virtuous people spend their afterlives in peace and harmony.
