The Aeneid By Virgil Translated By Robert Fagles Pdf Jun 2026
Aeneas rose at dawn with salt in his hair and a city’s ruin in his heart. Troy’s towers were ash, the wooden horse a hollow horror that had betrayed them from within. He gathered the survivors—old Anchises, his loyal son Ascanius, a handful of warriors and refugees—and bore his household gods on a small, trembling ship. Their faces were threaded with grief, their hands still smelling of smoke.
Robert Fagles (1933–2008) was a renowned American professor and translator, best known for his acclaimed translations of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey . His translation of the Aeneid was his final major work before his death.
Aeneas also visits the underworld, where he meets the spirit of his father, Anchises, and receives guidance on his future. He faces many battles and hardships, including a confrontation with the Rutulian king Turnus, who is determined to prevent Aeneas from establishing a new home in Italy.
