This tragic episode during the siege of Troy, sparked by a quarrel between the leader of the Greek army and its mightiest warrior, Achilles, is played out between mortals and gods, with devastating human consequences. It is a story of many truths, speaking of awesome emotions, the quest for fame and revenge, the plight of women, and thelighthearted laughter of the gods. Above all, it confronts us with war in all its brutality - and with fleeting images of peace, which punctuate the poem as distant memories, startling comparisons, and doomed aspirations. The Iliad's extraordinary power testifies to the commitment of its many readers, whohave turned to it in their own struggles to understand life and death.This elegant and compelling new translation is accompanied by a full introduction and notes that guide the reader in understanding the poem and the many different contexts in which it was performed and read. 546 Translated from the Ancient Greek. 588 Description based on print version record. 505 0 Cover -- Contents -- Introduction -- Note on the Text and Explanatory Materials -- Note on the Translation -- Select Bibliography -- Maps -- THE ILIAD -- BOOK ONE -- BOOK TWO -- BOOK THREE -- BOOK FOUR -- BOOK FIVE -- BOOK SIX -- BOOK SEVEN -- BOOK EIGHT -- BOOK NINE -- BOOK TEN -- BOOK ELEVEN -- BOOK TWELVE -- BOOK THIRTEEN -- BOOK FOURTEEN -- BOOK FIFTEEN -- BOOK SIXTEEN -- BOOK SEVENTEEN -- BOOK EIGHTEEN -- BOOK NINETEEN -- BOOK TWENTY -- BOOK TWENTY-ONE -- BOOK TWENTY-TWO -- BOOK TWENTY-THREE -- BOOK TWENTY-FOUR -- Explanatory Notes -- Index of Personal Names. 650 0 Trojan War |vPoetry. 600 00 Achilles |c(Mythological character) |vPoetry. 611 27 Trojan War. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01157294 776 |z0-19-964521-3 776 |z0-19-879735-4 700 1 Verity, Anthony, |etranslator. 700 1 Graziosi, Barbara, |ewriter of foreword. 830 0 Oxford World's Classics 906 BOOK
