Die Aeneis Vergils (70–19 v. Chr.), ein Epos in 12 Büchern, gehört zu den bedeutendsten Dichtungen der Weltliteratur. Sie erzählt die Geschichte des Trojaners Aeneas, der nach der Zerstörung seiner Stadt durch die Griechen auf Weisung der Götter in die Gegend des heutigen Rom übersiedelt und dort die Voraussetzungen für die Gründung der Stadt schafft. Er gelangt erst nach einer längeren Irrfahrt an sein Ziel und muss dann in einem Krieg gegen die im Lande wohnenden Latiner seinen Herrschaftsanspruch behaupten. In der Person des Aeneas ist diejenige des Kaisers Augustus präfiguriert. Bis in neuere Zeit wurde die Aeneis metrisch, also in deutsche Hexameter übertragen. Da man sich dabei aber der klassizistischen Sprache früherer Zeiten bediente, wurde die Übersetzung für ein modernes Publikum stellenweise nahezu unverständlich. Die vorliegende Übersetzung ist ebenfalls metrisch, steht aber sprachlich nicht mehr in klassizistischer Tradition, sondern gibt den lateinischen Text im Deutsch der Gegenwart wieder, sodass ein Eindruck von der poetischen Gestalt des Originals erhalten bleibt. Vergil’s Aeneid is one of the greatest works of world literature. Published around 18 BCE, this epic poem narrates the mythical antecedents of the foundation of Rome. The translation is in verses – in hexameter as the original version – but, leaving behind the classicistic tradition, uses contemporary German to render the Latin text.

In recent decades, international research on Virgil has been marked, if not dominated, by the ideas of the 'Harvard School' and similar trends, according to which the poet was engaged in an elaborate work of subtle subversion, directed against the new ruler of the Roman world, Octavian-Augustus. Much of Virgil's oeuvre consists prima facie of eulogy of the ruler, and of emphatic prediction of his enduring success: this is explained by numerous modern critics as generic convention, or as studied ambiguity, or as irony. This paradoxical position, which runs against ancient-as well as much modern-interpretation of the poet, continues to create widespread unease. Stahl's new monograph is the most thorough study so far to question modern Virgilian criticism on philological grounds. He based himself on the internal logic and rhetoric of the Aeneid, and considers also political, historical, archaeological and philosophical subjects addressed by the poem. He finds that the poet has so presented the morality of his central figure, Augustus' supposed ancestor Aeneas, and of those who (eventually) clash with him, Turnus and Dido, as to make it certain that Roman readers and hearers of the poem were meant to conclude in Aeneas' favour. Virgil's intention emerges from Stahl's thorough, ingenious and original argumentation as decisively pro-Augustan. Stahl's work, in short, will not only enliven debate on current critical hypotheses but for many will enduringly affect their credibility.
