Media Reviews
A new and noble standard bearer . . . Theres a capriciousness to Fagless line well suited to this vast storys ebb and flow.
The New York Times Book Review (front page review)
Fagless new version of Virgils epic delicately melds the stately rhythms of the original to a contemporary cadence. . . . He illuminates the poems Homeric echoes while remaining faithful to Virgils distinctive voice.
The New Yorker
Robert Fagles gives the full range of Virgils drama, grandeur, and pathos in vigorous, supple modern English. It is fitting that one of the great translators of The Iliad and The Odyssey in our times should also emerge as a surpassing translator of The Aeneid,
