The greatest literary landmark of antiquity masterfully rendered by the most celebrated translator of our time.WhenEmily Wilson'stranslation ofThe Odysseyappeared in 2017—revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that was "fresh, unpretentious & lean" (Madeline Miller,Washington Post)—critics lauded it as "a revelation" (Susan Chira,New York Times) & "a cultural landmark" (Charlotte Higgins,Guardian) that would forever change howHomeris read in English. NowWilsonhas returned with an equally revelatory translation ofHomer'sother great epic—the most revered war poem of all time.The Iliadroars with the clamor of arms, the bellowing boasts of victors, the fury & grief of loss, & the anguished cries of dying men. It sings, too, of the sublime magnitude of the world—the fierce beauty of nature & the gods' grand schemes beyond the ken of mortals. InWilson'shands, this thrilling, magical, & often horrifying tale now gallops at a pace befitting its legendary battle scenes, in crisp but resonant language that evokes the poem’s deep pathos & reveals palpably real, even “complicated,” characters—both human & divine.The culmination of a decade of intense engagement with antiquity’s most surpassingly beautiful & emotionally complex poetry,Wilson’sIliadnow gives us a completeHomerfor our generation.°°°Homerwas a Greek poet, recognized as the author of the great epics, theIliad, the story of the siege of Troy, & theOdyssey, the tale of Ulysses’s wanderings.Emily Wilsonis a professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She has been named a Fellow of the American Academy in Rome in Renaissance and early modern studies, a MacArthur Fellow, & a Guggenheim Fellow. In addition to Homer’sIliad&Odyssey, she has also published translations of Sophocles, Euripides, & Seneca. She lives in Philadelphia.
