The Aeneid of Virgil

Aeneas flees the ashes of Troy to found the city of Rome and change forever the course of the Western world -- as literature as well.

Virgil's Aeneid is as eternal as Rome itself, a sweeping epic of arms and heroism -- the searching portrait of a man caught between love and duty, human feeling and the force of fate -- that has influenced writers for over 2,000 years.

Filled with drama, passion, and the universal pathos that only a masterpiece can express. The Aeneid is a book for all the time and all people.

"Allen Mandelbaum has produced a living Aeneid, a version that is unmistakably poetry."
   ERICH SEGAL, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

"A brilliant translation; the only one since Dryden which reads like English verse and conveys some of the majesty and pathos of the original."
   BERNARD M. W. KNOX

"Mandelbaum has... given us a contemporary experience of the masterpiece, at last."
   DAVID IGNATOW

beneath the violence of High Ones, for

the savage Juno's unforgetting anger;

and many sufferings were his in war-

until he brought a city into being

and carried in his gods to Latium;      10

from this have come the Latin race, the lords

of Alba, and the ramparts of high Rome.

Tell me the reason, Muse: what was the wound

to her divinity, so hurting her

that she, the queen of gods, compelled a man    15

remarkable for goodness to endure

so many crises, meet so many trials?

Can such resentment hold the minds of gods?

There was an ancient city they called Carthage-

a colony of refugees from Tyre- 20

a city facing Italy, but far

away from Tiber's mouth: extremely rich

and, when it came to waging war, most fierce.

This land was Juno's favorite-it is sa ... read full excerpt from The Aeneid of Virgil ebook
