Summary:
"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 poemas 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 fully understand 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 Achilles.
