Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Iliad presents superhuman heroes and superhuman rage, brutal death, unbounded sorrow, the craving for revenge, the shortness of life, the glory quest, and, ultimately, reconciliation and forgiveness. As human nature is unchanging, the Iliad's themes concern us as much today as they did H…omer's audiences 2,700 years ago. Not for nothing did Ezra Pound observe that "a civilization was founded on Homer." The Iliad is always relevant, even as it is timeless. Of interest to readers in every generation, it is a classic in the root sense. Homer was "the Bible of the Greeks." He was their mythology and history (still fairly merged at the time), their religion, their storehouse of ethics and exempla under an Olympian dispensation. And while the Odyssey is the more popular of Homer's epics, the Iliad is the more profound.This is not merely another new translation of Homer's Iliad. It is sooner and foremost Homer's Iliad in a Classical Translation - the first-ever into a consistently 12-syllable line and, at the same time, the longest such work in the English language (the Iliad consisting of 15,639 lines in Greek). This translation by Jeffrey M. Duban uses a mildly archaizing style and other poetic devices to suggest the antiquity and flavor of Homeric composition. Like the original, it is both alliterative and polysyllabic - excessive monosyllabism the scourge of many a modern translation. Duban further observes epic decorum with recourse to poetic diction. Decorum entails the avoidance of colloquialisms and commonplaces, again in contrast to other translations. This special limited edition hardback features a high-quality binding with an embossed finish, jacket, headbands and printed endpapers. A fresh translation of Homer's Iliad in Classical style. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Hailed by Plato as the "Tenth Muse" of ancient Greek poetry, Sappho is inarguably antiquity's greatest lyric poet. Born over 2,600 years ago on the Greek island of Lesbos, and writing amorously of women and men alike, she is the namesake lesbian. What's left of her writing, and what we know…of her, is fragmentary. Shrouded in mystery, she is nonetheless repeatedly translated and discussed - no, appropriated - by all. Sappho has most recently undergone a variety of treatments by agenda-driven scholars and so-called poet-translators with little or no knowledge of Greek. Classicist-translator Jeffrey Duban debunks the postmodernist scholarship by which Sappho is interpreted today and offers translations reflecting the charm and elegant simplicity of the originals. Duban provides a reader-friendly overview of Sappho's times and themes, exploring her eroticism and Greek homosexuality overall. He introduces us to Sappho's highly cultured island home, to its lyre-accompanied musical legends, and to the fabled beauty of Lesbian women. Not least, he emphasizes the proximity of Lesbos to Troy, making the translation and enjoyment of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey a further focus.More than anything else, argues Duban, it is free verse and its rampant legacy - and no two persons more than Walt Whitman and Ezra Pound - that bear responsibility for the ruin of today's classics in translation, to say nothing of poetry in the twentieth century.Beyond matters of reflection for classicists, Duban provides a far-ranging beginner's guide to classical literature, with forays into Spenser and Milton, and into the colonial impulse of Virgil, Spenser, and the West at large. A groundbreaking study of the work of ancient Greek lyric poet Sappho. The author debunks the postmodernist scholarship by which Sappho is interpreted today and offers translations reflecting the charm and elegant simplicity of the originals.
