	The Daily Princetonian - Fagles brings Aeneas into modern world
		To do so, Fagles said, he is always "on the prowl for modern voices of the heroic," combing books, television broadcasts, and conversational speech to see how language is created and used and to provide fuel for his efforts to achieve emotional as well as literal fidelity to Virgil's original text.
		Fagles hopes to bring Virgil "from literature into song." Fagles has a special interest in the voices of great poetic singers, from classical and Romantic writers to modern poets such as Robert Lowell and C. Williams.
		Fagles said his hardest challenge as a translator is "trying to find a place to sit that will help me understand the full [expressive] meaning of each word, from the very small to the very large."

	Powell's Books - The Odyssey by Homer and Robert Fagles
		Odysseus' reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural forces, during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, is at once the timeless human story and an individual test of moral endurance.
		In the myths and legends that are retold here, Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom, and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery.
		In Robert Fagles' lucid, muscular verse, these ancient measures stalk across the page in march time, from the first sight of 'young Dawn with her rose-red fingers' to the moment when the last suitor has been slaughtered and Odysseus takes Penelope to bed."

	Land of Lime » Robert Fagles
		After his two superb (and best selling) translations of Iliad (1990) and The Odyssey (1996), Robert Fagles has just published a new translation of Virgil’s Aeneid.
		Paul Friedrich introduced many generations of his students (including me) at the University of Chicago to Fagles’ wonderful translations, which as Fagles himself says aren’t literal or literary.
		Still, Fagles has produced some wonderful poetry, which makes us all look forward to partaking this new epic feast.

	The Tin Man » Robert Fagles
		An interview with Robert Fagles appeared in the New York Times yesterday.
		Fagles has translated the Iliad and the Odyssey to wide praise in the last several years, and he’s currently working on translating Virgil’s Aeneid.
		Reading this interview made me envious for the academic life: Fagles is a retired Ivy League professor, he’s been married for almost 50 years and has two grown daughters, and he works “in a window-lined room in his house on a back road.” And the photo of his desk nook looks lovely.

	MetroActive Books \| Robert Fagles
		No one could be more pleased with this state of affairs than Fagles himself, who's had Homer as a constant houseguest in his brain for even longer than anyone Penelope ever entertained.
		Fagles avoids some of the pitfalls of earlier translators partly through clever renderings of the repeated epithets attached to characters: he translates polutropos, the word Homer often uses to describe Odysseus, as the wonderfully evocative "man of twists and turns."
		This is a critical phrase in understanding Fagles' approach to his work, which treats The Odyssey as not just a literary document but a work to be performed aloud, just as in Homer's day.

		These themes of empire and death, of human tragedy, of the pain of duty and the loss of love and the horror of war, have consumed one Virgil translator, Dr. Robert Fagles, for nearly as long as it took Virgil to write the epic poem.
		Fagles has worked day after day, month after month, and now, year after year since beginning his work in 1997, in a window-lined room in his house on a back road here.
		Fagles, 70, taught literature at Princeton for 40 years and retired in 2002.

	The Illiad, translated by Robert Fagles , book review
		Fagles and Bernard Knox (who wrote the introduction) give Pope high praise.
		I got involved in the characters and the situations, in the tragedy of Hector and the tragedy of Achilles.
		The gods' intervention in the affairs of men is just another aspect of the random coincidences, emotional surges, and irrational impulses that humans must deal with continuously, just as they must deal with the frailty of their flesh -- the future carrion -- which is somehow, briefly, animated.

		Except for the fact that the review quoted is from the London Quarterly Review of 1857, and the bracketed [he] isn’t Robert Fagles but Virgil himself, being taken to task by the Review’s (anonymous) reviewer for the shortcoming of his epic poem.
		Robert Fagles himself is an emeritus professor of comparative literature at Princeton, and this translation comes at the end of a career (more than one critic comments on this being a ‘captstone’ of one kind or another) that saw the author’s translations of the Iliad and Odyssey rapturously praised and surprisingly successful commercially.
		Robert Fagles too finds a good blend of the objective and the personal: he wants to serve Virgil, not to draw attention to himself, but his translation is unmistakably, though unobtrusively, of its time and of its maker.

		Princeton scholar Fagles follows up his celebrated Iliad and Odyssey with a new, fast-moving, readable rendition of the national epic of ancient Rome.
		Pious Aeneas, passionate Dido, and raging Turnus are driven by the desires and rivalries of the gods-but even the gods recognize their obeisance to fate, and to the foretold Roman Empire that will produce Augustus, Virgil's patron.
		Fagles, writing of Virgil's sense of "the price of empire," notes that "it seems to be a price we keep on paying, in the loss of blood and treasure, time-worn faith and hard-won hope, down to the present day."
