Virgil's classic song of arms, heroes, and gods is one of the great heritages of Western civilisation. Its grandeur, its scope, its passion, have been sought in translation by reverent poets throughout the ages. Patrick Dickinson's translation of 'The Aeneid' captures Virgil's epic tone and preserves the spirit of the original poem - the color, the movement, the life - with a fresh force of imagery and insight.
