A masterpiece from one of the greatest poets of the centuryIn 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."

Virgil, Volume Ii : Aeneid Books 7-12, Appendix Vergiliana (Loeb Classical Library, No 64) Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro) was born in 70 BCE near Mantua and was educated at Cremona, Milan and Rome. Slow in speech, shy in manner, thoughtful in mind, weak in health, he went back north for a quiet life. Influenced by the group of poets there, he may have written some of the doubtful poems included in our Virgilian manuscripts. All his undoubted extant work is written in his perfect hexameters. Earliest comes the collection of ten pleasingly artificial bucolic poems, the Eclogues, which imitated freely Theocritus's idylls. They deal with pastoral life and love. Before 29 BCE came one of the best of all didactic works, the four books of Georgics on tillage, trees, cattle, and bees. Virgil's remaining years were spent in composing his great, not wholly finished, epic the Aeneid, on the traditional theme of Rome's origins through Aeneas of Troy. Inspired by the Emperor

The Eclogues, ten short pastoral poems, were composed between approximately 42 and 39 BC, during the time of the 'Second' Triumvirate of Lepidus, Anthony, and Octavian. In them Virgil subtly blended an idealized Arcadia with contemporary history. To his Greek model - the Idylls of Theocritus - he added a strong element of Italian realism: places and people, real or disguised, and contemporary events are introduced. The Eclogues display all Virgil's art and charm and are among his most delightful achievements. Between approximately 39 and 29 BC, years of civil strife between Antony, and Octavian, Virgil was engaged upon the Georgics. Part agricultural manual, full of observations of animals and nature, they deal with the farmer's life and give it powerful allegorical meaning. These four books contain some of Virgil's finest descriptive writing and are generally held to be his greatest and most entertaining work, and C. Day Lewis's lyrical translations are classics in their own right.

Before 29 BCE came one of the best of all didactic works, the four hooks of Georgics on tillage, trees, cattle, and bees. Virgil's remaining years were spent in composing his great, not wholly finished, epic the "Aeneid," on the traditional theme of Rome's origins through Aeneas of Troy. Inspired by the Emperor Augustus's rule, the poem is Homeric in metre and method but influenced also by later Greek and Roman literature, philosophy, and learning, and deeply Roman in spirit. Virgil died in 19 BCE at Brundisium on his way home from Greece, where he had intended to round off the "Aeneid." He had left in Rome a request that all its twelve books should be destroyed if he were to die then, but they were published by the executors of his will.The Loeb Classical Library edition of Virgil is in two volumes.

These two volumes provide a commentary, with text, on Virgil's Georgics, a poem in four books probably written between 35 and 29 BC. The introduction, in Volume 1, treats the poem's historical background and its relationship to the early years of Augustan Rome, Virgil's use of prior literary material, his stylistic and metrical expertise, and questions of poetic structure. There is also a section interpreting the poem in light of recent scholarship, which seeks to consider the poem as part of the broad unity of Virgil's career, rather than from a narrow didactic approach. A new Latin text of the poem is followed by extensive line-by-line commentary, explaining difficult passages, interpreting poetic intent, and tracing the influence of Virgil's Greek and Roman antecedents. A subject index and indexes of important Greek and Latin words conclude each volume.

Book VIII is one of the most attractive and important books of Virgil's Aeneid. It includes the visit of Aaneas to the site of the future Rome, the story of Hercules and Cacus, the episode between Venus and Vulcan and the description of the great symbolic shield of Aeneas. Mr Gransden's introduction relates this book to the Aeneid as a whole considers the text in various aspects: the topography, Virgil's sense of history, his typology and symbolism, his literary style and his influence on subsequent vernacular poetry. The commentary discusses points of special interest and difficulty in interpretation, style and prosody and gives detailed explanation of the many allusions in Book VIII to customs, legends, traditions and historical events. This is primarily a textbook for university students and sixth-formers, but it also contains material which may be of interest to students of English and comparative literature.

Book XII brings Virgil's Aeneid to a close, as the long-delayed single combat between Aeneas and Turnus ends with Turnus' death a finale that many readers find more unsettling than triumphant. In this, the first detailed single-volume commentary on the book in any language, Professor Tarrant explores Virgil's complex portrayal of the opposing champions, his use and transformation of earlier poetry (Homer's in particular) and his shaping of the narrative in its final phases. In addition to the linguistic and thematic commentary, the volume contains a substantial introduction that discusses the larger literary and historical issues raised by the poem's conclusion; other sections include accounts of Virgil's metre, later treatments of the book's events in art and music, and the transmission of the text. The edition is designed for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students and will also be of interest to scholars of Latin literature.

Si cada siglo goza de la nueva traducción de un clásico, la de la 'Eneida' del siglo XXI la firma indiscutiblemente Luis T. Bonmatí, basada en la edición crítica de Roger Aubrey Baskerville Mynors, Vergili Maronis Opera (Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1969).

Para lograr la comprensión inmediata de esta epopeya sobre la creación de Roma, incluye breves aclaraciones, que no cercenan el hilo del discurso poético-narrativo. Escuetas notas al margen favorecen la continuidad comprensiva de la lectura y ayudan al lector a no perderse nunca entre la fuerza dramática del poeta Virgilio, en este viaje apasionante de la mano de Eneas, el héroe que tras alcanzar las costas de Italia emprendió su conquista.

Aeneis (genitiv Aeneidy), též Aeneida je Vergiliův epos. Je psána latinsky v hexametrech, byla vytvořen v letech 29–19 př. n. l. jako poslední básníkovo dílo, některé metrické a dějové chyby svědčí o nedokončenosti). Skládá se ze dvanácti knih, obsahuje 9896 veršů.Aeneis je velmi ovlivněna homérskými eposy, Íliadou a Odysseiou, co do stylu i látky. Prvních šest knih eposu líčí příběh bájného hrdiny Aenea, který uprchl z hořící Tróje a odešel do Itálie; druhá polovina pak popisuje boje s ostatními kmeny. Příběh ale obsahuje množství epizod a odboček (příběh o kartáginské královně Didoně, která se do Aenea zamiluje, příběh o statečné Amazonce Camille či Aeneovo vyprávění o trojské válce). Aeneas, pojímaný jako praotec římského národa, v básni funguje jako ztělesnění a vzor římských ctností.Cílem eposu bylo vytvořit národní epos Římanů, srovnatelný s Homérem, zároveň měl funkci didaktickou jako poučení o „římských ctnostech“ a spíše jinotajnou funkci politickou, podporující zájmy císaře Augusta, údajného potomka bájného Aenea.Vergilius na básni pracoval deset let; chtěl jí věnovat ještě tři roky na vytříbení, a odstranění drobných věcných nepřesností, ale smrt mu v tom zabránila. Podle jeho závěti měla být "neuhlazená báseň" zničena; za to, že se tak nestalo, vděčíme přímému zákroku císaře Augusta.Aeneis hluboce ovlivnila celou římskou, ale i středověkou kulturu, spolu s homérskými eposy patřila k jejím nejzákladnějším dílům. Je jedním z děl klasického kánonu, který byl po staletí základem studia latiny a filologie. Aeneis se stala se vzorem i inspirací pro mnoho dalších literárních děl, např. pro Dantovu Božskou komedii, kde je Vergilius ztělesněním umění a lidské duševní síly.V novověku se objevují překlady do národních jazyků a také hudební zpracování: opera La Didone od Francesco Cavalliho (1641), první anglická opera Dido and Aeneas (1689) Henry Purcella a opera Les Troyens Hectora Berlioze. Zajímavostí je parodie Aeneidy Ivana Kotljarevského (1798), která stála u zrodu ukrajinské literatury.Do češtiny byla Aeneis přeložena několikrát, a to časoměrně Karlem Vinařickým v roce 1851 a Antonínem Škodou v roce 1877, v přízvučném hexametru pak Otmarem Vaňorným v roce 1933.
