Review: Translations of Ancient Greek and Latin poetry into English poetry vary widely, and so it is important to find one that will work for you and to go on to read several others. Unfortunately, reviews for several translations get grouped together on a product's page. Some of the ones you read here are for Fitzgerald's translation, some for Fagles, and many for ones that aren't named. Here, I am reviewing the translation by Robert Fitzgerald. I love this book. Fitzgerald is a fine poet, and his translations capture the lofty language of ancient epic in modern English extremely well. However, as someone who has taught the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid in high-school English classes for over 15 years, I wouldn't suggest starting with this translation. Stanley Lombardo's version serves that purpose much better (and is excellent in its own right). Translations by Sarah Ruden and Robert Fagles aren't far behind. I would recommend starting with Lombardo's and then moving onto Fitzgerald's. You may want to use the "Look Inside" feature on their desertcart pages to read a sample of each and judge for yourself before ordering. High-school students might need to start by reading a shorter version, as it is easy for them (and others) to get frustrated by the length of ancient epic and to get lost in language that is not clear to them. Then they're primed for reading a translation of the Aeneid. --Frank Hering Author of Virgil's Aeneid Retold for Young Adults Review: Arrivato in condizioni perfette ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0679729526 | | Best Sellers Rank | #173,556 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #46 in Epic Poetry #401 in Literary Criticism & Theory #457 in Religious Literature & Fiction | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,010) | | Dimensions | 13.13 x 2.34 x 20.27 cm | | Edition | Reissue | | ISBN-10 | 9780679729525 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0679729525 | | Item weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 464 pages | | Publication date | 16 June 1990 | | Publisher | Vintage | ## Images ![Vintage The Aeneid - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+Kr6g2i8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by F***G on 23 August 2019* Translations of Ancient Greek and Latin poetry into English poetry vary widely, and so it is important to find one that will work for you and to go on to read several others.

Lo he comprado tras dos muy buenas adaptaciones de La Iliada y La Odisea y en esta ocasión incluye incluso más detalles, como mapas y árboles genealógicos (si bien unas notas al pie no vendrían mal en ocasiones para no tener que tirar de wikipedia). La versión es traducida a inglés, evidentemente. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/460501302-vintage-the-aeneid](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/460501302-vintage-the-aeneid) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
