Iliad Of Homer
Sing goddess the anger of Peleus son Achilleus / and its devastation." For sixty years thats how Homer has begun the "Iliad" in English in Richmond Lattimores faithful translation--the gold standard for generations of students and general readers. This long-awaited new edition of Lattimores "Iliad" is designed to bring the book into the twenty-first century--while leaving the "poem" as firmly rooted in ancient Greece as ever. Lattimores elegant fluent verses--with their memorably phrased heroic epithets and remarkable fidelity to the Greek--remain unchanged but classicist Richard Martin has added a wealth of supplementary materials designed to aid new generations of readers. A new introduction sets the poem in the wider context of Greek life warfare
society and poetry while line-by-line notes at the back of the volume offer explanations of unfamiliar terms information about the Greek gods and heroes and literary appreciation. A glossary and maps round out the book. The result is a volume that actively invites readers into Homers poem helping them to understand fully the worlds in which he and his heroes lived--and thus enabling them to marvel as so many have for centuries at Hektor and Ajax Paris and Helen and the devastating rage of Achilleus."
