Virgil, born in 70 B.C., is best remembered for his masterpiece, The Aeneid. He earned great favor by portraying Augustus as a descendant of the half-god, half-man Aeneas. Although Virgil swore on his deathbed that The Aeneid was incomplete and unworthy, it has been considered one of the greatest works of Western literature for more than two thousand years.

评分《埃涅阿斯纪》写的是战争和一个人的故事。 (一)所谓战争 《埃涅阿斯纪》的第一个词就是“战争”(Arma virumque cano),这不是巧合。在John Dryden的英译本里,还能看出这一点,但是在中译本里,就全不是这回事了(可见透过翻译来欣赏文学是多么的荒唐)。 《...

Review
“A new and noble standard bearer . . . There’s a capriciousness to Fagles’s line well suited to this vast story’s ebb and flow.”
—The New York Times Book Review (front page review)
“Fagles’s new version of Virgil’s epic delicately melds the stately rhythms of the original to a contemporary cadence. . . . He illuminates the poem’s Homeric echoes while remaining faithful to Virgil’s distinctive voice.”
—The New Yorker
“Robert Fagles gives the full range of Virgil’s drama, grandeur, and pathos in vigorous, supple modern English. It is fitting that one of the great translators of The Iliad and The Odyssey in our times should also emerge as a surpassing translator of The Aeneid.”
—J. M. Coetzee
Book Description
From the award-winning translator of The Iliad and The Odyssey comes a brilliant new translation of Virgil’s great epic
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.
余第10,11章没看。构思规整语言精妙,读过之后觉得Lattimore译本的荷马才是真爱。

评分相比荷马史诗的粗犷豪迈,我更喜欢埃涅阿斯纪这种更娴熟的文学表达形式,二者的关系就行古希腊罗马的雕塑一样,希腊开疆扩土,而罗马凯旋而归
