Robert Fagles just completed translating a key Greek literary work, 'The Aeneid', while living with his first few months of Parkinson's disease. Sure, he probably does not have very dramatic symptoms now. However, like many people reading this piece today, he has to decide how to use precious "on" hours, and precious "on" years.
This story about Fagles from the Associated Press tells you a little about his translation work, and his interest in Greek literature. It only mentions his Parkinson's disease diagnosis.
Interestingly, he is now learning a number of new medical terms. His Latin and Greek language capabilities will come in very handy, as he dominates the language of Parkinson's disease.
