Poet, translator, and classicist A.E. Stallings will deliver Princeton’s 2023-2024 Robert Fagles Lecture for Classics in the Contemporary Arts. Known for her rhyming translations of Lucretius and Hesiod and for her five books of formalist verse, Stallings is a Pulitzer Prize Finalist and the current Oxford Professor of Poetry. Stallings’ lecture is titled “Homer’s Hippiad: From the First Deaths to the Last Word” and will explore how mules and horses mirror and shadow their human counterparts in Homer’s Iliad.
