About this product

Product Information

One of the greatest epics in Western literature, THE ILIAD recounts the story of the Trojan wars. This timeless poem still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods battling amidst devastation and destruction, as it moves to its tragic conclusion. In his introduction, Bernard Knox observes that although the violence of the Iliad is grim and relentless, it co-exists with both images of civilized life and a poignant yearning for peace.

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

    Great translation for young or first time readers!

    Love this translation, it's not as direct as Lattimore, but the action is easier to follow. It's ideal for high school age, first time readers, or anyone who has trouble keeping track of what's happening.

    The Iliad

    It's the Iliad for crying out ! A story that has been with us for over 2500 years. With the Odyssey two of the great Greek epics. A must read.

    excellant translation

    Beautiful, flowing translation that keeps the eye and the mind reading naturally, with beautiful, poetic and strong choices for words and phrases. I wouldn't want to read any other translation!
