If someone could talk Dan Stevens into doing Robert Fitzgerald’s translation, he might be able to knock it out of the park - he’s already done that for Homer. In my opinion, the audiobook world is still waiting for a 5-star rendition of The Aeneid. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. Here, Fagles brings to life the timeless journey of Aeneas as he flees the ashes of Troy to found Roman society and change forever the course of the Western world.įagles' translation retains all of the gravitas and humanity of the original as well as its powerful blend of poetry and myth. The Aeneid is a sweeping epic of arms and heroism and a searching portrait of a man caught between love, duty, and the force of his own destiny. Now, with this stunning modern verse translation, Fagles has reintroduced Virgil's Aeneid to a whole new generation, and completed the classical triptych at the heart of Western civilization. His translations of both the Iliad and Odyssey have sold hundreds of thousands of copies and have become the standard translations of our era. The publication of a new translation by Fagles is a literary event.
