"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.
《伊利亚特》这本书写得很残忍。给我印象最深的不是“阿基琉斯的愤怒”,而是很有临场感的战斗场景。这里边儿有名有姓的人死掉的时候,荷马都不会一带而过,他会跟你说,这标枪掷中、石头投中、弓箭射中或短剑砍中的是受害者的哪个部位,这个身体部位又被破坏成什么样子。但看...
评分 评分特洛伊国王之子帕里斯抵斯巴达,备受王者墨涅拉奥斯的款待。因著名的“Judgement of Paris”,他将墨涅拉奥斯之妻第一美女海伦带回特洛伊。希腊各地的王者和首领们于是由迈锡尼国王阿伽门农统领,进兵特洛伊,夺回海伦。希腊联军兵临特洛伊,但一连九年不得破。在第十年里,阿...
评分(注:按惯例,《伊利亚特》的卷数用大写罗马数字、《奥德赛》的卷数用小写罗马数字标出。) 阿喀琉斯的名字由两个词根拼接而成:“悲痛”(akhos)和“群众”(laos,古希腊语境中,此词主要指参与战斗的兵士)。《伊利亚特》也可以相应分成前后两部分:阿喀琉斯先拒绝参战,...
评分神作,大爱
评分[我读过这本书] 2015-01-30,打的四星;2019 May, 回来看,改成五星。Interesting. 当时就有意识到这个,现在回来看果然是的。KKK也说,「tutor告诉我,当你读第二遍第三遍的时候,你会觉得不同的,它之所以是经典,因为它与你一同成长。」True.

评分海伦受召唤去观看丈夫和前夫为她举行的决斗时,正在编织一条红色的袍子(III.125-128);安德洛玛克听闻赫克托尔死讯时,也在编织一条红色的袍子(XXII.440-441)。“编织”这一活动细致又漫长,是战争年代里相对被动柔弱的女性仅有的表达方式,但或许也是人类面对朝生暮死、虚无缥缈的生命最好的抵抗。在《奥德赛》里,诗人荷马将继续丰富“编织”的内涵,让它成为西方文学史上最著名的意象之一。
