Description: The Iliad by Homer, Herbert Jordan, E. Christian Kopff Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An accessible Iliad for twenty-first-century readers Publisher Description An accessible Iliad for twenty-first-century readersA classic of Western literature for three millennia, Homers Iliad captivates modern readers - as it did ancient listeners - with its tale of gods and warriors at the siege of Troy. Now Herbert Jordans line-for-line translation brilliantly renders the original Greek into English blank verse - the poetic form most closely resembling our spoken language.Raising the bar set by Richmond Lattimore in 1951, Jordan employs a pleasing five-beat meter and avoids unnecessary filler. Whereas other verse renditions are longer than the original, owing to the translators indulgence in personal poetics, Jordan avoids ""line inflation."" The result, an economical translation, captures the force and vigor of the original poem.E. Christian Kopffs introduction to this volume sets the stage and credits Jordan with conveying the action and movement of the Iliad in ""contemporary language and a supple verse."" This new Iliad offers twenty-first-century readers the thrill of a timeless epic and affords instructors a much-needed alternative for literature surveys. Author Biography Herbert Jordan, an attorney, is an independent scholar of Greek. He resides in Roxbury, New York.E. Christian Kopff, Associate Director of the Honors Program at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is the editor of a Greek edition of Euripides Bacchae.
