The Aeneid is modeled so closely upon Homeric epic that the poet Joseph Brodsky was moved to remark that Homer is the only true audience Virgil can have. And yet, although he adopts the structure, theology, episodes, and even many of the stylistic features of Homeric poetry, Virgil does not merely mimic the old Greek master but transforms everything he takes from Homer - and other poets - into a distinctly Latin and Roman composition. Encouraged by the emperor Augustus to write the national epic of Rome, Virgil settled on a mythological rather than historical approach, choosing Aeneas, a Trojan hero in Homer’s Iliad, as his central character and picking up the story at the fall of Troy. The first half of the poem traces Aeneas’ Odyssean wanderings in his quest to found a new city; the second half brings him to his destiny in Italy, where he must fight a great war as an Iliadic hero before he can found the settlement that was the precursor to Rome. In this way Virgil established Rome as successor to Troy, giving both his city and his poem a Homeric lineage. He had substantially completed his Aeneid when he died in 19 B.C.E., leaving behind an epic that was almost instantly monumentalized as a literary and cultural icon, a status it has retained for two thousand years, becoming a standard school text and exerting enormous influence on such major European poets as Dante and Milton. -- The primary issues for the translator of the Aeneid revolve about the poem’s classicism, or "Augustanism." T. S. Eliot expressed a received tradition when in his presidential address to the Virgil Society in 1944 he pronounced the Aeneid the exemplar of classic style, by which he meant mature, conservative, morally elevated, sure of its civilized values in language as well as politics— in a word, Augustan. One might think that few would wish to quarrel with this characterization of the Aeneid, but there has been in fact a strong minority protest.

[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Hackett Publishing Co, Inc], Long a master of the crafts of Homeric translation and of rhapsodic performance, Stanley Lombardo now turns to the quintessential epic of Roman antiquity, a work with deep roots in the Homeric tradition. With characteristic virtuosity, he delivers a rendering of the Aeneid as compelling as his groundbreaking translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey , yet one that--like the Aeneid itself--conveys a unique epic sensibility and a haunting artistry all its own. W. R. Johnson's Introduction makes an ideal companion to the translation, offering brilliant insight into the legend of Aeneas; the contrasting roles of the gods, fate, and fortune in Homeric versus Virgilian epic; the character of Aeneas as both wanderer and warrior; Aeneas' relationship to both his enemy Turnus and his lover Dido; the theme of doomed youths in the epic; and Virgil's relationship to the brutal history of Rome that he memorializes in his poem.

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. KnoxMandelbaum has... given us a contemporary experience of the masterpiece, at last. -- David Ignatow New Textbooks>Trade Paperback>Poetry>Poetry>Poetry, Hackett Publishing Company, Inc.
