I found this translation by Robert Fagles. I've read his translations of The Iliad and The Odyssey and found his to be the easiest translations to read (I've read two others).
This is the first time I've read the Aeneid and once again the translator has not let me down and I never had a doubt what the author was saying.
If you've had trouble reading these epic poems in the past give Robert Fagles' translations a try.
Highly recommended.
