  • "Aeneas, the hero escapes from the carnage of the Trojan War and embarks on a treacherous series of adventures that eventually lead him to the future site of Rome. Unlike other modern translators of Vergil, who forgo meter entirely or use iambic pentameter (the meter of Shakespeare and other English poets), this translator uses dactylic hexameter, the meter used by Vergil and by all ancient writers of epic poetry, beginning with Homer. Elaborate or esoteric language is avoided and instead a clear, unadorned diction is used to capture Vergil's masterful simplicity."
