Vergil, on his deathbed in 19 BCE, expressed his heartfelt desire that his epic masterpiece, the Aeneid, be burned and not published. If his wishes had been granted, the course of Western literature and perhaps even Western civilization might have taken a different direction. The Aeneid has remained a cornerstone of university courses since the emergence of universities and has been invoked at pivotal moments in human history. Saint Augustine used it to illustrate the fallen nature of the soul, settlers used it to justify manifest destiny in North America, and Mussolini used it to support his Fascist regime. In this captivating and accessible translation of the Aeneid, Shadi Bartsch brings the poem to the modern reader. Accompanied by her insightful introduction, the reader will embark on a journey to delve deeper into the enduring influence of this epic masterpiece.
