Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a unique exploration of the power of language in shaping human experience, focusing on the epic poem The Iliad. The author's approach is highly unconventional: translating portions of the poem into English quantitative hexameter. This means that he not only replicates the original Greek meter but also explores the relationship between the rhythm of language and the emotional impact of poetry. The author delves into the intricacies of the English language, analyzing the role of quantity and accent in creating different metrical effects. He argues that the traditional English iambic is superior for narrative poetry, due to its flexibility in adapting to changing emotions and events. However, he also defends the hexameter's ability to convey the grandeur and musicality of Homer's original text. By examining the structure of language, the author provides a fascinating insight into the artistic decisions behind the creation of epic poetry. The book offers a fresh perspective on The Iliad, highlighting its linguistic richness and the enduring power of Homer's storytelling.
