DESCRIPTION
The Aeneid
bA fresh and faithful translation of Vergil’siAeneid/i restores the epic’sspare language and
fast pace and sheds new light on one of the cornerstone narratives of Western culture./bb“Viid
and haunting . . . a modl of how to render Latin poetry in English.”#8212Tom Holland, iNew
Statesman/i/bFor two thousand years, the epic tale of Aeneas’sdramatic flight from Troy, his
doomed love affair with Dido, his descent into the underworld, and the bloody story behind the
establishment of Rome has electrified audiences around the world. In Vergil’stelling,
Aeneas’sheroic journey not only gave Romans and Italians a thrilling origin story, it established
many of the fundamental themes of Western life and literature—th role of duty and self-sacrifice,
the place of love and passion in human life, the relationship between art and violence, the tension
between immigrant and indigenous people, and the way new foundations are so often built upon the
wreckage of those who came before. Throughout the course of Western history, the Aeneid has affirmed
our best and worst intentions and forced us to confront our deepest contradictions.Shadi Bartsch,
Guggenheim Laureate, award-winning translator, and chaired professor at the University of Chicago,
confronts the contradictions inherent in the text itself, illuminating the epic’ssubversive approach
to storytelling. Even as Vergil writes the foundation myth for Rome, he seems to comment on this
tendency to mythologize our heroes and societies, and to gesture to the stories that get lost in the
mythmaking. Bartsch’sgroundbreaking translation, brilliantly maintaining the brisk pace of
Vergil’sLatin even as it offers readers a metrical line-by-line translation, provides a literary and
historical context to make the Aeneid resonant for a new generation of readers.
