The Aeneid (Robert Fagles translation)
by Virgil and Robert Fagles
In this New York Times review, you can see the arguments for also reading this translation of The Aeneid by Robert Fagles (2006), the late American academic and poet.
In classical times poems were meant to be listened to and rather excitingly the British actor, Simon Callow, has narrated an audiobook of the Aeneid, based on Robert Fagles’s translation.
