Virgil Virgil

Originally published in 1911 and part of the English Literature for Schools series, this book contains three books from the 1697 edition of John Dryden's translation of Virgil's Aeneid. Hamilton Thompson supplies an introduction on the history of the Aeneid and Dryden's translation of it, as well as critical notes on variations in the translation's text. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of Classical education.

A masterpiece from one of the greatest poets of the century In a momentous publication, Seamus Heaney's translation of Book VI of the Aeneid, Virgil's epic poem composed sometime between 29 and 19 BC, follows the hero, Aeneas, on his descent into the underworld. In Stepping Stones, a book of interviews conducted by Dennis O'Driscoll, Heaney acknowledged the significance of the poem to his writing, noting that "there's one Virgilian journey that has indeed been a constant presence, and that is Aeneas's venture into the underworld. The motifs in Book VI have been in my head for years--the golden bough, Charon's barge, the quest to meet the shade of the father." In this new translation, Heaney employs the same deft handling of the original combined with the immediacy of language and sophisticated poetic voice as was on show in his translation of Beowulf, a reimagining which, in the words of James Wood, "created something imperishable and great that is stainless--stainless, because its force as poetry makes it untouchable by the claw of literalism: it lives singly, as an English language poem."

Den mest klassiske av alla diktare är Vergilius (70–19 f.Kr.) och det mest klassiska av hans diktverk är Aeneiden, berättelsen om hjälten Aeneas' dramatiska öden efter flykten från det brinnande Troja. Detta epos kom snabbt att betraktas som själva inbegreppet för litterär fullkomlighet och fundamentet för all bildning värd namnet. Inget annat diktverk har som Aeneiden förmått fängsla eftervärlden, väcka beundran och ge impulser till annan konst. Ingvar Björkeson, våra dagars främste översättare av den klassiska litteraturen, har gjort en modern och levande tolkning av Aeneiden. I en inledande essä skärskådar Bengt Holmqvist Aeneiden i ett brett historiskt perspektiv och understryker dess aktualitet även i vår tid.

Long a master of the crafts of Homeric translation and of rhapsodic performance, Stanley Lombardo now turns to the quintessential epic of Roman antiquity, a work with deep roots in the Homeric tradition. With characteristic virtuosity, he delivers a rendering of the Aeneid as compelling as his groundbreaking translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey, yet one that--like the Aeneid itself--conveys a unique epic sensibility and a haunting artistry all its own. W. R. Johnson's Introduction makes an ideal companion to the translation, offering brilliant insight into the legend of Aeneas; the contrasting roles of the gods, fate, and fortune in Homeric versus Virgilian epic; the character of Aeneas as both wanderer and warrior; Aeneas' relationship to both his enemy Turnus and his lover Dido; the theme of doomed youths in the epic; and Virgil's relationship to the brutal history of Rome that he memorializes in his poem. A map, a Glossary of Names, a Translator's Preface, and Suggestions for Further Reading are also included.

Arma virumque cano: "I sing of warfare and a man at war." Long the bane of second-year Latin students thrust into a rhetoric of sweeping, seemingly endless sentences full of difficult verb forms and obscure words. Full of betrayal, heartache, seduction, elation, and violence, the Aeneid is the great founding epic of the Roman empire. Its pages sing of the Roman vision of self, the Roman ideal of what it meant to be a citizen of the world's greatest power. The epic's force carries across the centuries, and remains essential reading.

Follow Aeneid as he flees a burning Troy with his family and sets out on a dangerous journey to found what will one day become The Roman Empire. Thrill with him as he gets caught up in conflicts between the gods, all the while striving to complete his own grand destiny. Virgil intended this book to be a sequel to the Iliad and the Odyssey, and as such it takes up with events just after the finish of the Odyssey. Inscribed here are myths and legends and tales of bravery destined to last for all time.

This outstanding edition introduces intermediate and advanced Latin students to Vergil's Aeneid. The text's readings (including all those on the Advanced Placement* Latin Literature syllabus and the International Baccalaureate Latin syllabus) are comprised of selections from Books One, Four, Six, Ten, and Twelve, as well as Book Two in its entirety.

As Bucólicas são, na linha do tempo, o primeiro grande poema de Vergílio e, na realidade, os mais intraduzíveis de todos os textos poéticos. A beleza do verso vergiliano (que, em latim, é música ao nível de Mozart) evapora-se por completo noutra língua. Além da beleza do texto - que se pode dizer que inventou o «latim poético» -, trata-se de poesia de primeira água, luminosa e fundadora de uma grande tradição ocidental de expressão poética. Esta edição reproduz a sua tradução, em verso, e o original latino. Apresenta, além disso, uma preciosa introdução e notas de Frederico Lourenço.

Surprisingly, this is the first full-scale scholarly commentary on the Eclogues to appear in this century. These ten short pastorals are among the best known poems in Latin literature. Clausen's commentary provides a comprehensive guide to both the poems and the considerable scholarship surrounding them. There are short introductions to each poem, as well as a general introduction to the Eclogues as a whole.

La Eneida, el gran poema épico de Publio Virgilio Marón (Andes, Mantua, 70 a. C.-Bríndisi, 19 a. C.) que no pudo terminar, exalta los orígenes del pueblo romano a través de Eneas, héroe troyano de estirpe divina, y narra sus viajes y las guerras que hubo de sostener para establecer su linaje en el Lacio. La influencia de Homero es evidente y las referencias a la Ilíada y la Odisea, constantes; pero su finalidad concreta era conseguir que los romanos estuvieran orgullosos de serlo, que se sintieran herederos de los dioses y de los héroes que habían forjado su historia nacional, y, sobre todo, exaltar la figura de Augusto como materialización y eclosión del glorioso destino de Roma. A Virgilio nunca le satisfizo plenamente su obra; trató de destruirla y en su testamento prohibió su publicación, pero el emperador Augusto lo impidió.

Com NCX. A «Eneida» conta a saga de Eneias, um troiano que é salvo dos gregos em Troia, viaja errante pelo Mediterrâneo até chegar à região que atualmente é a Itália. Seu destino era ser o ancestral de todos os romanos.

Virgilio es uno de los poetas latinos de mayor influencia en la literatura occidental. La gran fama de la que gozó en su época dio origen a un sinfín de leyendas en torno a su figura. La Eneida, una de sus obras más representativas, es una gran epopeya nacional, escrita por encargo del emperador Augusto, en la que se atribuye un origen mítico al Imperio que él encabezaba; para ello abrevó de los poemas de Hornero, La Ilíada y La Odisea. Geórgicas, la segunda en importancia, es un poema de carácter didáctico en el que se ilustra la vida rural y se glosan las diversas labores relacionadas con el campo y la agricultura. Bucólicas es su primer gran obra, en ella también, a través de la poesía pastoril, crea una mitología política nueva, donde los protagonistas cantan grandezas de la Roma antigua. En estas dos obras, más que en la primera, que es de carácter histórico, queda expuesta su intención de poner en contacto a los dioses con los hombres, así como su apreciación de la naturaleza.

The Aeneid – thrilling, terrifying and poignant in equal measure – has inspired centuries of artists, writers and musicians. Virgil’s epic tale tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero, who flees his city after its fall, with his father Anchises and his young son Ascanius – for Aeneas is destined to found Rome and father the Roman race. As Aeneas journeys closer to his goal, he must first prove his worth and attain the maturity necessary for such an illustrious task. He battles raging storms in the Mediterranean, encounters the fearsome Cyclopes, falls in love with Dido, Queen of Carthage, travels into the Underworld and wages war in Italy.

La Eneida (en latín, Aeneis) es una epopeya latina escrita por Virgilio en el siglo I a. C. La obra fue escrita por encargo del emperador Augusto con el fin de glorificar el imperio atribuyéndole un origen mítico. Con este fin, Virgilio elabora una reescritura, más que una continuación, de los poemas homéricos tomando como punto de partida la guerra de Troya y la destrucción de esa ciudad, y colocando la fundación de Roma como un acontecimiento ocurrido a la manera de los mitos griegos. Virgilio trabajó en esta obra desde el año 29 a. C. hasta el fin de sus días (19 a. C.) Se suele decir que Virgilio, en su lecho de muerte, encargó quemar la Eneida, fuera porque desease desvincularse de la propaganda política de Augusto o fuera porque no considerase que la obra hubiera alcanzado la perfección buscada por él como poeta.1
