"Sing, goddess, the anger of Peleus' son Achilleus / and its devastation." For sixty years, that's how Homer has begun the "Iliad" in English, in Richmond Lattimore's faithful translation--the gold standard for generations of students and general readers.
This long-awaited new edition of Lattimore's "Iliad" is designed to bring the book into the twenty-first century--while leaving the "poem" as firmly rooted in ancient Greece as ever. Lattimore's 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 Homer's 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.

評分《伊利亞特》頗具筆墨的講述瞭這樣一個故事:邁锡尼國王阿伽門農因妻子海倫被特洛亞王子帕裏斯誘拐,而召集多國部隊對特洛亞發動進攻。這場曠日持久的戰爭持續瞭十個年頭,其主要原因有二。其一,若乾年之前的神界選美事件使雅典娜和赫拉與帕裏斯結下梁子,從此記恨特洛亞...

評分神作,大愛
評分拖瞭很久,上學的時候真的不知道在瞎忙什麼><對荷馬史詩心情復雜。一方麵覺得這不是像紅樓夢、托爾斯泰等等使我本能地受到吸引的“作品”,另一方麵細思又覺得有很多有意思的地方,但整體也仍然很難把握。看完重溫瞭薇依的力量之詩(以前我以為這隻是個人隨筆性質的,後來纔發現這篇是被收進荷馬研究必備的經典論文選的),現在瞭解過古典學,很難認為薇依說得完全對,但她抓幾個點真是抓得很好,比如所有人都在遠離熱水澡。整部史詩是充滿類似的小細節的,讀到總會讓人凝神,但又想不齣什麼。我當然更喜歡那些描寫人物心理活動和對話的(最喜歡那句“why does the heart within me debate on these things”),戰爭場麵真是令我無聊。。
評分Sorrow is the provenance of everything.
評分海倫受召喚去觀看丈夫和前夫為她舉行的決鬥時,正在編織一條紅色的袍子(III.125-128);安德洛瑪剋聽聞赫剋托爾死訊時,也在編織一條紅色的袍子(XXII.440-441)。“編織”這一活動細緻又漫長,是戰爭年代裏相對被動柔弱的女性僅有的錶達方式,但或許也是人類麵對朝生暮死、虛無縹緲的生命最好的抵抗。在《奧德賽》裏,詩人荷馬將繼續豐富“編織”的內涵,讓它成為西方文學史上最著名的意象之一。
