Language: English. Brand new Book. Virgil's "The Aeneid" is an epic-style poem originally written in Latin. "The Aeneid" was written between 29 BC and 19 BC by subject of the Roman Republic, Virgil. This story follows the legendary tale of the brave Trojan warrior, Aeneas who became an ancestor of all of Rome when he founded a great city from the Ashes of Troy. Written in dactylic hexameter, the same style as famous Greek works the Iliad and the Odyssey, this novel explores the famous Greek theme of the heroic return, transcendent in its era. How will Aeneas fare the storms of a treacherous sea and how does one man found one of the greatest cities ever built? Follow Aeneas on his adventures on the Mediterranean, on his way to riches and infamy.

Rising to the challenge of rendering the poem's Latin hexameters by adopting English iambic ones, Len Krisak's Aeneid doubles down on the English poetic tradition by also featuring rhyme. In Krisak's hands, these devices provide not only a superb kind of music but the snap and power of an epic adventure that glories in what only formal poetry can do. Enhanced by an Introduction and an extensive set of notes by Christopher M. McDonough, this Aeneid works as story, voice, and verse.

Frederick Ahl's new translation captures the excitement, poetic energy, and intellectual force of the original in a way that has never been done before. Ahl has used a version of Virgil's ancient hexameter, a swift-moving six-beat line varying between twelve and seventeen syllables, to reproduce the original poetry in a thrillingly accurate and engaging style. This is an Aeneid that the first-time reader can grasp and enjoy, and whose rendition of Virgil's subtleties of thought and language will enthrall those already familiar with the epic. Unlike most translators, Ahl has chosen to retain Virgil's word-play, the puns and anagrams and other instances of the poet's ebullient wit. Like Shakespeare and the Greek tragedians, Virgil grasped that humor and earnestness are not mutually exclusive in art any more than they are in life. One should read the Aeneid not in solemn homage, but for enjoyment. Enhanced by Elaine Fantham's Introduction, Ahl's comprehensive notes and an invaluable indexed glossary, this lively new translation brings readers closer to the original and the myriad enjoyments to be found there.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
