Über diesen Titel

 Dating to the ninth century BC, Homer’s timeless poem still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods wrestling with towering emotions and battling amidst devastation and destruction, as it moves inexorably to the wrenching, tragic conclusion of the Trojan War. Renowned classicist Bernard Knox observes in his superb Introduction that although the violence of the Iliad is grim and relentless, it coexists with both images of civilized life and a poignant yearning for peace.

Combining the skills of a poet and scholar, Robert Fagles brings the energy of contemporary language to this enduring heroic epic. He maintains the drive and metric music of Homer’s poetry, and evokes the impact and nuance of the Iliad’s mesmerizing repeated phrases in what Peter Levi calls “an astonishing performance.”Translation Copyright ©1990 by Robert Fagles; (P)1992 Penguin-HighBridge Audio, Packaging ©1992 Penguin-HighBridge Audio Antike, Klassik & Mittelalter Klassiker Lyrik

Kritikerstimmen

“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

The book is colossal, the translation very enjoyable, unfortunately some parts are left out. I would really have liked it to be complete, or at least, have the information what is left out.

Great performance, but not complete

Leider sind nicht alle Kapitel komplett ausgelesen, manche sind nur zusammengefasst. Habe es für mein Studium gelesen/angehört und die zusammengefassten Kapitel bringen mir nichts..

Nicht komplett!
