The Aeneid

Features a revised introduction

In Aeneas, Virgil created the most powerful figure in Latin literature, the dutiful yet fallible Trojan prince who overcomes war, suffering and countless setbacks to lay the foundations of the Roman race.

‘The most truthful translation ever, conveying as many nuances and whispers as are possible from the original’  
Times

‘Sweet prose, clear and clean and dancing like a mountain stream, as here … West opens the window and the winds bring life into Virgil’s body’ 
Wall Street Journal
