Review Praise for Sarah Ruden's translation of the Aeneid:"Robert Fagles, shortly before his death, set the bar very high for translating the Aeneid. Yet already the scholar-poet Sarah Ruden has soared over the bar. . . . The translation is alive in every part. . . .This is the first translation since Dryden's that can be read as a great English poem in itself."—Garry Wills, New York Review of Books (Garry Wills 2011-03-15)
About the Author Apuleius (sometimes called Lucius Apuleius; c. 125 – c. 180) was a Latin prose writer. He was Numidian Berber, from Madaurus (now M'Daourouch, Algeria). He studied Platonist philosophy in Athens; travelled to Italy, Asia Minor and Egypt; and was an initiate in several cults or mysteries. The most famous incident in his life was when he was accused of using magic to gain the attentions (and fortune) of a wealthy widow. He declaimed and then distributed a witty tour de force in his own defense before the proconsul and a court of magistrates convened in Sabratha, near Tripoli. This is known as the Apologia. His most famous work is his bawdy picaresque novel, the Metamorphoses, otherwise known as The Golden Ass. It is the only Latin novel that has survived in its entirety. It relates the ludicrous adventures of one Lucius, who experiments with magic and is accidentally turned into a donkey.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent and approachable translation By Edward J. Barton Not only is the book and amazing insight into the culture, humor and storytelling of the ancient Romans, but the translation by Graves into the modern English as opposed to a slavish translation of the Latin into flowery medieval English is much welcomed. This translation is readable by anyone, and the humor, the insights, the lessons and the mythology enjoyable by the student as well as the casual reader. The Latin purist may scoff at the translation, but they will miss the entertainment value that Graves delivers. Excellent and approachable translation of this classic.
4 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Very Poor Translation By Rocco B. I ordered this translation rather than other ones available for one of my classes because of the low price. In hindsight, this was a mistake given the poor digital rendering of the text and the AWKWARD / OUTDATED translation. DO NOT! I repeat, DO NOT buy this edition, the $10 editions are much better
