Number 60 in the 1992 newly launched Everyman Edition. It rapidly became part of what has been opined 'the editions of record' by reviewers. These smart and beautifully edited and designed books are superbly formatted. There is an introduction by Gregory Nagy. The translation is the classic one by Robert Fitzgerald, which does justice to the fluent vigour and gravity of the Homeric original.

A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

One of the foremost achievements in Western literature, Homer's Iliad tells the story of the darkest episode of the Trojan War. At its center is Achilles, the greatest warrior-champion of the Greeks, and his conflict with his leader Agamemnon. Interwoven in the tragic sequence of events are powerfully moving descriptions of the ebb and flow of battle, the besieged city of Ilium, the feud between the gods, and the fate of mortals.

� propos de l?auteur

Homer is a much-debated figure traditionally considered to have composed the two great oral poems The Odyssey and The Iliad in eighth or seventh-century-BC Greece
