Auden and Robert Lowell, Virgil is a defining presence in English poetry. The Eclogues and Georgics inspired the pastorals of Spenser, Milton and Pope; the Aeneid's pathos, spiritual insights and long-suffering hero - who struggles with doubt, despair and the loss of everything he loves to found the Roman race - made it the model epic. Dryden's complete Virgil in heroic couplets sums up the supersedes his predecessors, yet later translators include Wordsworth, William Morris, Robert Bridges and Cecil Day Lewis.

Orpheus: der erste Sänger, der Erfinder der Musik, der in der Trauer über den Tod Eurydikes die Kraft findet, die Götter der Unterwelt herauszufordern – und scheitert. Wie ist sein Gang in die Unterwelt erzählt worden? Wie wurde sein verbotener Blick zurück verstanden? Was bedeutet sein Tod?

Las historias de este libro están forjadas en una época en la que la guerra constituía una forma de vida y los héroes representaban el ideal al que todos aspiraban.

Aunque el mundo de hoy sea muy diferente, los problemas de los protagonistas de Homero y de Virgilio son también los de los lectores actuales. Y, aunque los dioses de griegos y romanos no estén aquí para ayudar o castigar a los seres humanos, sabemos que la vida es un viaje tan rico en aventuras como el del héroe Ulises, una travesía en la que lo importante no es adónde se llega, sino lo que se vive durante el camino.
