The Aeneid by Virgil Translated by Robert Fagles
This translation of the Aeneid is well done. It maintains the flow and rhythm of the original poem, yet also translates in a way that reflects the meanings of the words. I took Latin for five years and had to translate much of the original poem which was originally written by Virgil in Latin. I would recommend this book highly to both students studying Latin and to those who want to read the epic poem.
