Long a master of the crafts of Homeric translation and of rhapsodic performance, Stanley Lombardo now turns to the quintessential epic of Roman antiquity, a work with deep roots in the Homeric tradition. With characteristic virtuosity, he delivers a rendering of the Aeneid as compelling as his groundbreaking translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey, yet one that–like the Aeneid itself–conveys a unique epic sensibility and a haunting artistry all its own.W. R. Johnson’s Introduction makes an ideal companion to the translation, offering brilliant insight into the legend of Aeneas; the contrasting roles of the gods, fate, and fortune in Homeric versus Virgilian epic; the character of Aeneas as both wanderer and warrior; Aeneas’relationship to both his enemy Turnus and his lover Dido; the theme of doomed youths in the epic; and Virgil’s relationship to the brutal history of Rome that he memorializes in his poem.A map, a Glossary of Names, a Translator’s Preface, and Suggestions for Further Reading are also included.
