About this listen

The masterpiece of Rome's greatest poet, Virgil's Aeneid has inspired generations of readers and holds a central place in Western literature. The epic tells the story of a group of refugees from the ruined city of Troy, whose attempts to reach a promised land in the West are continually frustrated by the hostile goddess Juno. Finally reaching Italy, their leader, Aeneas, is forced to fight a bitter war against the natives to establish the foundations from which Rome is destined to rise. This magnificent poem, in the modern translation by Cecil Day Lewis, is superbly read by David Collins.

This is a story to stir the blood even if you knew nothing about the Greeks and Trojans. It is a beautiful translation, easy on the ear, and read with great sensitivity.

Magnificent in every respect. The translation rolls with an inexorable cadence and captures the epic tone beautifully, while the reading is flawless throughout. I was really gripped.
