"The Aeneid—that 10,000-line, 2,000-year-old epic poem in twelve books singing imperial Rome’s mythic origins in the travails and triumph of one man, Aeneas, Trojan hero second only to Hector; that touchstone of Western culture T. S. Eliot once called “the classic of all Europe”; that capstone of high school Latin. Even if you have never read it, you probably know of the Trojan Horse and to beware of Greeks bearing gifts. For many, poets and scholars alike, translating the Aeneid represents a culmination of effort and height of achievement. Ferry himself, who has already translated to much acclaim Virgil’s Eclogues and Georgics, has now completely traced the arc of Virgil’s career from writer of lyrics and didactic verse to epic poet in the mode of Virgil’s great predecessor, Homer."
