The Iliad is about "klea andron," the glorious and terrible deeds
of men in relation to other men, the raw content of the soul of
man, but not of woman. It is a vast lagoon of dream fragments of
the male unconscious, haunted with eternal shadows that compete,
strut, fight, kill and rape, and above all seek the approval of
other men. In this book, I have traced the history of the Iliad
from papyrus, to parchment, to paper, to e-book. Next, I have
looked critically into the first ten lines of Book 1 of the Iliad
in the Latin, French, Greek (vernacular), and lastly English
translations, beginning with the first translations of Hall, and
Chapman. New translations of passages recovered from papyri and
parchment, done by the present author, are included. Lastly, a
theory of translation of poetry is attempted.
