"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 "poem" as 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 understand fully 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 Achilleus.
阿喀琉斯的愤怒 伟大的《伊利亚特》以歌唱阿喀琉斯的愤怒作为开篇,将之视为更残酷的命运起始的标志——“歌唱吧,女神,歌唱帕琉斯之子阿喀琉斯的愤怒,这愤怒给阿开亚人带来了无限的苦难。很多勇敢的灵魂就这样被打入哈迪斯的冥土,许多英雄的尸骨沦为野狗和兀鹰之口。自从...
评分如今希腊经济形势不好,叙利亚等中东难民潮更让其雪上加霜,但几千年前,古希腊文明在欧洲乃至世界都是首屈一指,在很多领域都取得过异常辉煌的成就。在艺术上,纯白的古希腊雕塑优雅流畅,科技发达的今人难望其项背;文学上,洋洋洒洒两大厚本的荷马史诗和古希腊悲喜剧等等,...
评分伊利亚特里描写死亡最常用的句子是:“无边的黑暗笼罩了他的眼睛。” 但是各人的死亡描写得各不相同,在死亡之中发现诗意,这是荷马的独到之处。这是暴力型的: “他首先投枪,击中插顶马鬃的头盔,坚挺的突角, 铜尖扎进厄开波洛斯的前额,深咬进去, 捣碎头...
评分《伊利亚特》颇具笔墨的讲述了这样一个故事:迈锡尼国王阿伽门农因妻子海伦被特洛亚王子帕里斯诱拐,而召集多国部队对特洛亚发动进攻。这场旷日持久的战争持续了十个年头,其主要原因有二。其一,若干年之前的神界选美事件使雅典娜和赫拉与帕里斯结下梁子,从此记恨特洛亚...

配着audiobook看,很有广播剧的感觉。读classic的朋友送我的书,她说是最好的英译本,加戏不多。目前感觉很不像现代英语,的确有古感。她说战争戏很难读。

评分Rage, body, rage. You've got nothing to regret.Is it a privilege of a hero, or a bond of a lesser-than-god?
