Learn moreRobert Fitzgerald's magnificent translation of Virgil's epic poem was a major literary event at its release in 1983; today it is an acknowledged masterpiece. Profoundly poetic yet gloriously accessible, this is the best way to experience a work that has remained a centerpiece of Western civilization for 2,000 years.
Fitzgerald's rendering speaks directly to the modern listener, inviting us to share the excitement, adventure, and human tears as Aeneas, the warrior hero, escapes from the burning city of Troy, embarks on a long and perilous journey, and eventually, triumphantly establishes a new nation: Rome.
Virgil (70 BCE-19 BCE) is considered one of Rome's greatest poets. He is best known for three major works: the Eclogues (or Bucolics), the Georgics, and the Aeneid, although several minor poems are also attributed to him.
