Robert Fagles tackles Virgil's epic poem of Aeneas and his Mediterranean wanderings with the same fluid verse and narrative flair as in his translations of The Iliad and The Odyssey. Written in the first century B.C., The Aeneid is at turns an adventure story to rival those of Homer and a piece of propaganda commissioned by Augustus to celebrate the birth of the Roman Empire.
