### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Dissapointed
  

*by P***L on Reviewed in India on 27 March 2019*

Do not buy the e-version. Absolutely irrelevant illustrations and information provided. Will look to get it returned.I would advise that a person interested in history, literature or poetry does read this book. Wonderful verses, Virgil was succeful in beautifying Rome's propoganda.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent translation
  

*by D***  on Reviewed in Canada on 23 June 2024*

The Fitzgerald translation is, in my opinion, the best one. He has researched Virgil and his translation reflects a deeper knowledge than simply one of Latin.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Continues to Inspire
  

*by N***L on Reviewed in the United States on 9 April 2023*

Brutal and beautiful. What an epic poem Virgil crafted. I can see why Dante, in a later era, essentially worshipped this poem and its poet and used much of it in his own epic masterpiece of poetry.I found much of Homer in this poem too, in the journey and divine hardships endured by the hero Aeneas. It reminded me heavily of Odysseus’ quest to return to Ithaca from fallen Troy. Aeneas’ quest was a similar one, beginning in the concluding fires of the same battle, and both were forced to endure the spiteful wrath of deities, but Virgil’s Aeneas and Homer’s Odysseus were on opposite sides in the Fall of Troy.I could write about Virgil’s “The Aeneid” for some time I think, so I’ll end the review here. This work was an inspiration, vividly descriptive, horrifyingly savage and violent, mythic and epic. It’ll stay with my always, much like the poetry of Dante and Homer.
