Description

Aeneas, the legendary hero of Troy, embarks on an incredible journey to fulfill his destiny as the founder of Rome. His voyage takes him through stormy seas and entangles him in a tragic love affair, before reaching the promised land of Italy.

With its powerful blend of poetry and myth, Virgil's epic tale redefines passion, nobility, and courage for our times. This new translation by Robert Fagles brings the Aeneid to a new generation of readers, retaining all of the gravitas and humanity of the original Latin.

Penguin Classics presents this seminal literary achievement in a vibrant new voice, enhanced by an illuminating introduction to Virgil's world by esteemed scholar Bernard Knox. This volume offers a fresh perspective on one of the most enduring works of ancient literature.
