AeneidLong 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. |
