The Aeneid by Virgil

The Aeneid by Virgil

The founding epic of Rome, rendered in a fluid, metrical translation that sings Virgils stately verse in a vivid, contemporary idiom

"Vibrant.. Aiming to reflect Virgil’s alliteration, wordplay and metaphors, McGill and Wright say they endeavored to ‘set our language in the space between accessibility and elevation.’ Their blank verse captures the poet’s extraordinary dexterity and pathos." -- The Washington Post
