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.A map, a Glossary of Names, a Translator's Preface, and Suggestions for Further Reading are also included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67834740113696,"sku":"NEW0872207315","price":28.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81SGC2l_GwL.jpg?v=1792249528","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/aeneid-hackett-classics-0872207315","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
