"From the award-winning translator of The Iliad and The Odyssey
comes a brilliant new translation of Virgil's great epic"
Fleeing the ashes of Troy, Aeneas, Achilles' mighty foe in the
"Iliad," begins an incredible journey to fulfill his destiny as the
founder of Rome. His voyage will take him through stormy seas,
entangle him in a tragic love affair, and lure him into the world
of the dead itself--all the way tormented by the vengeful Juno,
Queen of the Gods. Ultimately, he reaches the promised land of
Italy where, after bloody battles and with high hopes, he founds
what will become the Roman empire. An unsparing portrait of a man
caught between love, duty, and fate, the "Aeneid "redefines
passion, nobility, and courage for our times. Robert Fagles, whose
acclaimed translations of Homer's "Iliad "and "Odyssey "were
welcomed as major publishing events, brings the "Aeneid "to a new
generation of readers, retaining all of the gravitas and humanity
of the original Latin as well as its powerful blend of poetry and
myth. Featuring an illuminating introduction to Virgil's world by
esteemed scholar Bernard Knox, this volume lends a vibrant new
voice to one of the seminal literary achievements of the ancient
world.
