Description
The Iliad by Homer is a war poem of epic proportions, its pages filled with the clamor of arms, the boasts of victors, and the anguished cries of dying men. In this translation, Homer's work comes alive in crisp, resonant language that evokes the poem's deep pathos and reveals palpably real characters, both human and divine. With a decade of intense engagement with antiquity's most beautiful and emotionally complex poetry, Emily Wilson brings a fresh, unpretentious, and lean interpretation to this story.
