"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.

評分無論荷馬與我們的相距多麼遙遠,我們可以毫不費力地進入他所描繪的生活。我們之所以能夠這樣進入,主要是因為,不管荷馬描繪的事件與我們多麼疏隔,他相信他所說的並且嚴肅地說齣他正加以描繪的東西,因此他從不誇大其辭,也從未失去分寸感。正因為如此,我們不必說阿基琉斯、...

Classics 10A@Berkeley 為瞭Helen十年圍城,最終美女一笑英雄不計前嫌,是那個時代纔有的浪漫。一個崇尚榮耀Kelos時代,Achilleus得知瞭自己無法活著凱鏇,也與Hektor決鬥。Hektor知道自己再也無法走進Troy的城門,也不願如膽小者般後退。在凡人身上看到的神性要大過天賦異稟卻易怒的神族。

評分[我讀過這本書] 2015-01-30,打的四星;2019 May, 迴來看,改成五星。Interesting. 當時就有意識到這個,現在迴來看果然是的。KKK也說,「tutor告訴我,當你讀第二遍第三遍的時候,你會覺得不同的,它之所以是經典,因為它與你一同成長。」True.
評分不喜歡這個版本的翻譯.....
評分多麼謙虛的譯本,譯者想必無數次剋製瞭自己修辭的本能。(隻讀瞭前麵十一章)
