Review
"Other competent translations of Homer exist, but none accomplish what Merrill aims for: to convey to the reader-listener in translation the meaning and the sounds of Homer, coming as close as possible to the poetry of the original. Merrill accomplishes this virtuosic achievement by translating Homer's Greek into English hexameters, a process requiring not only a full understanding of the original Greek, but also an unusual mostery of the sounds, rhythms, and nuances of English." - Stephen G. Daitz, Professor Emeritus of Classics, City University of New York"

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. cover shows a detail from 'Jove Stiking the Greeks with lightning' by Giovanni Demin, in the Palazzo Papafava, Padua. (illustrator). 42nd Edition By Publisher. 469 pages.** 230 Grams; (by HOMER author of he Odyssey) The Iliad is Homer's other great epic, and it's very different from The Odyssey. ** The Iliad is an ancient Greek epic poem attributed to Homer, set during the Trojan War. It focuses not on the whole war, but on a short, intense period near its end, exploring themes of honor, rage, mortality, fate, and the cost of war. ** The poem centers on Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior, whose anger (menis) drives the plot. After a dispute with Agamemnon, Achilles withdraws from battle, leading to devastating consequences for the Greeks. When his close companion Patroclus is killed by Hector, Achilles returns to battle, kills Hector, and ultimately confronts the human cost of his rage. ** Plot: ? Quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon Achilles refuses to fight after Agamemnon dishonors him. The Greeks suffer without Achilles Hector leads the Trojans to major victories. Patroclus's death Wearing Achilles's armor, Patroclus is slain by Hector. Achilles's return Consumed by grief and fury, Achilles kills Hector. Priam's plea King Priam bravely visits Achilles to beg for Hector's body. Achilles, moved by shared grief, returns it-one of the poem's most powerful moments. ** Major Themes: Rage and honor Achilles's anger shapes the entire narrative. Mortality vs. glory Heroes seek eternal fame knowing life is short. War's brutality The Iliad is unflinching about violence and loss. Fate and the gods Divine intervention constantly alters human plans.** Minor Creasing to covers; indents to front cover; Size: 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Book. Seller Inventory # 167388
