Gripping listeners and readers for more than 2,700 years, 'The Iliad' is the story of the Trojan War and the rage of Achilles. Combining the skills of a poet and scholar, Robert Fagles brings the energy of contemporary language to this enduring heroic epic.

Here again, Fagles has performed the translator's task magnificently, giving us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. Each volume contains a superb introduction with textual and critical commentary by renowned classicist Bernard Knox.

Homer bidding farewell to his wife, Odysseus bound to the mast, Penelope at the loom, Achilles dragging Hector's body round the walls of Troy - scenes from Homer have been portrayed in every generation. Chapman's translations are argued to be two of the liveliest and readable.

Homero es el poeta griego por antonomasia, el poeta divino que influyó decisivamente en el arte, la literatura, la lengua, la religión y la filosofía griegas. Su obra, memorizada por los escolares, ha dejado a través de los siglos una huella indeleble en la vida de los griegos. Homero llegó a Occidente de la mano de Petrarca, cuando este humanista adquirió los manuscritos de los dos inigualables poemas homéricos que, con gran dolor, no supo descifrar. El mensaje de la «Ilíada» está, sin embargo, ahora claro para nosotros: aunque los héroes hagan frente al inexorable hado que pesa sobre los mortales cosechando la gloria, nada hay sobre la tierra más miserable que el hombre. La presente edición restituye la obra a sus orígenes ofreciendo una traducción muy literal en verso.
