Virgil

Un lavoro che Ettore Paratore e Luca Canali hanno sviluppato da 6 volumi in una edizione totale per la collana mondadoriana della Fondazione Lorenzo Valla. Oltre a tradurre, loro l'hanno ridotto vongendolo al servizio della versione italiana, affinché studenti di oggi e di ieri possano rivivere l'avventura di Enea con la stimolante mediazione della più esperta filologia.

Eneide

Tija

The Aeneid presents a heroic view of the life of man in all its splendour and anguish, but it is also full of just observation of the details of individual behaviour. It is not yet out of date.

Virgil knows better than to propose solutions to problems that can never be solved. 

It is almost as though Virgil had not the heart to let the villain die a villain. 

He showed them the face of hope and kept his misery deep in his heart.

I have given them an empire that will know no end. 

He was like a snake which has fed on poisonous herbs and hidden all winter in the cold earth, but now it emerges into the light, casts its slough and is renewed.
