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."

Excerpt from The Sixth Book of Virgil's AEneid: And Other Poems What form of English verse is best for a translation of the 'AEneid' is a problem which has not yet been solved Solved it can only be by a version which shall establish a claim to be itself a classic; but this solution has not yet been found. The version of Bishop Gawain Douglas, the earliest, is too crude and archaic to be accepted by modem readers. A rendering (published in 1582) in hexameters of the first four books was attempted by Richard Stanyhurst, the Irish Chronicler; but his book is ludicrous, almost beyond belief, both in language and in rhythm.
