Описание: This fresh and faithful translation of Vergil's Aeneid restores the spare poetry and driving rhythm of the original, allowing us to see one of the cornerstone narratives of Western culture with new eyes. For two thousand years, the epic tale of Aeneas' dramatic flight from Troy, his doomed love affair with Dido, his descent into the underworld, and the bloody establishment of Rome has electrified audiences around the world. In Vergil's telling, Aeneas' heroic journey not only gave Romans a thrilling origin story, it explored and established many of the fundamental themes of Western life and literature--the role of duty, the good of the many versus the good of the one, the place of love and passion in human life, the relationship between art and violence, the tension between immigrants and natives, and how new foundations are so often built upon the wreckage of those that came before. Throughout the course of Western history, the Aeneid has affirmed our best and worst intentions and forced us to confront our deepest contradictions. It's difficult to translate Latin into English without slowing down the pace of the narrative. But Shadi Bartsch, a chaired professor of classics at the University of Chicago, has brilliantly maintained the brisk, exciting pace of Vergil's Latin even as she gives readers a line-by-line translation. She also offers a fresh take on the text itself by highlighting rather than smoothing out the story's contradictions. Vergil's contemporary readers, for instance, would have understood that Aeneas, painted here as a hero, was typically represented as a traitor who had betrayed Troy to the Greeks in order to save his family. Vergil's choice, then, would have told a story of its own, and it belies our simple understanding of Aeneas as a paragon of duty. On a larger scale, Bartsch illuminates the epic's subversive approach to storytelling: Vergil seems to question our tendency to mythologize our heroes and societies, and to point to the stories that get lost in the mythmaking. This groundbreaking translation explores this question in a new introduction and provides a literary and historical context to make the Aeneid resonant for a new generation of readers.

Описание: In the book titled Vergil's political commentary in Eclogues, Georgics and Aeneid, the author examines Vergil’s political views by analyzing the whole of the poet’s work. He introduces the notion of the functional model suggesting that the poet often used this instrument when making a political statement. New interpretations of a number of the Eclogues and passages of the Georgics and the Aeneid are suggested and the author concludes that Vergil’s political engagement is visible in much of his work. During his whole career the poet was consistent in his views on several major political themes. These varied from, the distress caused by the violation of the countryside during and after the expropriations in the 40s B.C., to the horrors of the civil war and the violence of war in general, and the necessity of strong leadership. Vergil hoped and expected that Octavian would establish peace and order, and he supported a form of hereditary kingship for which he considered Octavian a suitable candidate. He held Cleopatra in high regard, and he appreciated a more meaningful role for women in society. Vergil wrote poetry that supported Augustus, but he had also the courage to criticize Octavian and his policies. He was a commentator with an independent mind and was not a member of Augustus’ putative propaganda machine.
