Sing of rage, Goddess, that bane of Akhilleus, Peleus' son,
which caused untold pain for Akhaians, sent down throngs of
powerful spirits to Aides, war-chiefs rendered the prize of dogs
and everysort of bird.
Edward McCrorie's new translation of Homer's classic epic of the
Trojan War captures the falling rhythms of a doomed Troy. McCrorie
presents the sundry epithets and resonant symbols of Homer's verse
style and remains as close to the Greek's meaning as research
allows.
The work is an epic with a flexible contemporary feel to it,
capturing the wide-ranging tempos of the original. It underscores
the honor of soldiers and dwells upon the machinations of "Moira,"
each man's and woman's portion in life.
Noted Homeric scholar Erwin Cook contributes a substantial
introduction and extensive notes written to guide both students and
general readers through relevant elements of ancient Greek history
and culture. This version of the " Iliad" is ideal for readings and
performances.
