The Aeneid
Robert Fagles Virgil & Bernard Knox
With his translations of Homer's classic poems, Robert Fagles gave new
life to seminal works of the Western canon and became one of the
preeminent translators of our time. His latest achievement completes the
magnificent triptych of Western epics. A sweeping story of arms and
heroism, The Aeneid follows the adventures of Aeneas, who flees
the ashes of Troy to embark upon a tortuous course that brings him to
Italy and fulfills his destiny as founder of the Roman people. Retaining
all of the gravitas and humanity of the original, this powerful blend
of poetry and myth remains as relevant today as when it was first
written.
