“Robert Fagles, a professor emeritus at Princeton University whose bold,
poetic translations of Homer and Virgil made him the most popular and
esteemed classical scholar of his time, has died.
“He was 74.
I haven't read either of Fagles' translations of Homer (having been
burnt out from reading a number of others), and although I bought his
Aeneid, last fall, I haven't read it either, although perhaps I should.
(I'm not a great fan of Virgil.)
