Description:   The Iliad by Homer (Author), Peter Jones (Editor), E V Rieu (Translator) 2003 BRAND NEW   The Iliad by Homer (Author), Peter Jones (Editor), E V Rieu (Translator) 2003 by Homer (Author), Peter Jones (Editor), E V Rieu (Translator) About the book:The first great book, and the first great book about the suffering and loss of war Guardian One of the foremost achievements in Western literature, Homers Iliad tells the story of the darkest episode in the Trojan War. At its centre is Achilles, the greatest warrior-champion of the Greeks, who refuses to fight after being humiliated by his leader Agamemnon. But when the Trojan Hector kills Achilles close friend Patroclus, he storms back into battle to take revenge knowing this will ensure his own early death. E. V. Rieus acclaimed translation of The Iliad was one of the first titles published in Penguin Classics, and now has classic status itself. Originally translated by E. V. RIEU Revised and updated by PETER JONES with D. C. H. RIEU Edited with an Introduction and notes by PETER JONES Reviews:?Fitzgerald has solved virtually every problem that has plagued translators of Homer. The narrative runs, the dialogue speaks, the military action is clear, and the repetitive epithets become useful text rather than exotic relics.? ?Atlantic Monthly ?Fitzgerald?s swift rhythms, bright images, and superb English make Homer live as never before?This is for every reader in our time and possibly for all time.??Library Journal ?[Fitzgerald?s Odyssey and Iliad] open up once more the unique greatness of Homer?s art at the level above the formula; yet at the same time they do not neglect the brilliant texture of Homeric verse at the level of the line and the phrase.? ?The Yale Review ?What an age can read in Homer, what its translators can manage to say in his presence, is one gauge of its morale, one index to its system of exultations and reticences. The supple, the iridescent, the ironic, these modes are among our strengths, and among Mr. Fitzgerald?s.? ?National Review With an Introduction by Gregory Nagy Author: Homer (Author), Peter Jones (Editor), E V Rieu (Translator) ISBN 13: 9780140447941 Language: English Published by: Penguin Classics Format: Paperback Year: 2003 Number of pages: 560 Weight: 383 g Genre: Poetry Topic: Epic, General, Ancient & Classical Intended Audience: Young Adults, Adults   Author: E V Rieu (Translator)Homer (Author)Peter Jones (Editor) ISBN 13: Language: English Published by: Penguin Classics Format: Paperback Year: 2003 Pages: 560 Weight: 383 Genre: Poetry Topic: Ancient & ClassicalEpicGeneral Intended Audience: AdultsYoung Adults Country of Origin: You can see our store policies on the following linkPolicies Shipping IMPORTANT!
