Summary

Dating to the ninth century B。C。， Homer’s timeless poem still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods wrestling with towering emotions and battling amidst devastation and destruction， as it moves inexorably to the wrenching， tragic conclusion of the Trojan War。 Renowned classicist Bernard Knox observes in his superb introduction that although the violence of the Iliad is grim and relentless， it coexists with both images of civilized life and a poignant yearning for peace。

Combining the skills of a poet and scholar， Robert Fagles， winner of the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation and a 1996 Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters， brings the energy of contemporary language to this enduring heroic epic。 He maintains the drive and metric music of Homer’s poetry， and evokes the impact and nuance of the Iliad’s mesmerizing repeated phrases in what Peter Levi calls “an astonishing performance。”

There are some books that you just have to read if you want to understand the source of a large grouping of references and allusions in our culture。 As I read， I’ll talk about what I’m reading to my friends。 I was mentioning Achilles’ death to my wife， and she said， “oh， that’s where the name Achilles’ Tendon comes from…”。 Greek literature explains a lot of the idioms and names even that are baked into our language， as well as many of our tropes: I’ve heard speeches or sermons mention the myth o There are some books that you just have to read if you want to understand the source of a large grouping of references and allusions in our culture。 As I read， I’ll talk about what I’m reading to my friends。 I was mentioning Achilles’ death to my wife， and she said， “oh， that’s where the name Achilles’ Tendon comes from…”。 Greek literature explains a lot of the idioms and names even that are baked into our language， as well as many of our tropes: I’ve heard speeches or sermons mention the myth of Sisyphus many times， still as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago。 For those reasons alone， I am immensely grateful I read the Iliad。I’m also grateful for the epic feeling it has， for the theme of the sad and brutal nature of war （is this the first book with the theme “war is hell”？ not sure， but it’s certainly one of the most notable early works with this theme）。 I also appreciate how， while the story is narrated from the perspective of the Greeks—it’s clear we are meant to want them to win over the Trojans—this does not mean that Homer portrays all the Greeks as ideal heroes and all of the Trojans as evil villains。 In fact， great lengths are taken to show how much of an asshole Achilles is and how noble that Hector is。 These two （each of which represent the best of each side—at least， the best militarily， in Achilles’ case） are oppositely aligned with how you would think。 Achilles， the best warrior for the “good” side， is narcissistic， selfish， arrogant， and profane in how he treats the living and the dead。 Hector， the best warrior for the “bad” Trojans， is a family man， is loved by all， is noble and just and temperate。 When Achilles kills Hector （spoilers） you actually feel pretty sad; this isn’t just a patriotic “boo-yeah， take that” kind of book。Since I don’t have the pleasure of knowing how to read Greek， I had to read this in translation （not ideal for something that’s poetry）。 So unfortunately I know that there’s a whole aspect to this that I completely missed out on。Another word about the particular translation I read （the big gold book with the Iliad and the Odyssey together published by Fall River with the silhouette of a ship on the front cover）。 It’s not great。 It is meant to be a more “natural” translation， which I’m fine and good with， rather than necessarily being as literal as some。 That’s fine。 What sucks is certain phrases are in this translation like “all big and bigly” and “all huge and hugely。” Yes I kid you not， those are in there。 I’m guessing that they chose to translate it that way because that probably shows something about how it was worded in Greek…。but certain things just don’t translate well。 As a translator， there are certain things you just need to not do literally or it sounds awful and really distracts the reader。The main detracting aspect of the Iliad， for me， was that it’s too long。 You know how in Dragonball Z every episode started to feel the same？ That’s how this book is from about the 40% mark to the 80% mark。 It’s extremely repetitive。 Another bunch of people die， and many of them are given a paragraph elegy of what they were known for in their life， usually closed by a remark about how all of their fill-in-the-blank （whether they had a lot of money or friends or whatever） couldn’t save them from death in the end。 Repeat this five more times in a row。 Then have the Greeks get pushed back a little further。 Then have some hero spur people to greater action with their words。 Then go back to listing a bunch of people dying， repeat ad nauseum。 Again。 And again。 And again。 Times fifty。 It’s just too much; you could just skip over most of that and be none the worse; the plot isn’t progressing， we’re still just waiting for most of the book for Achilles to save the Greeks。There is a huge host of heroes， especially on the Greek side。 I like that。 Diomed， Sarpedon， the two Ajaxes， Odysseus， Agamemnon， the Spartan dude Menelaus， Patroclus， Hector， Achilles。 Each of these have their limelight moments and each one has certain things that they’re better at。 That’s kind of co ol。 A couple of important people actually die before the end。 And Hector of course， the second most important person in the whole book。 Most of this book is a list of Hector’s triumphs over the Greeks and constant allusion/foreshadowing that he will die in the end at Achilles hands and Achilles will die also。 It’s stated so many times that it’s kind of interesting how different the Greeks viewed suspense in literature than we do。The gods feature a lot in this。 They are constantly fighting with each other in petty squabbles。 For some reason they are intensely preoccupied with the fight of the Greeks vs the Trojans， like they have nothing better to do than watch this spectator sport and mess with it occasionally。 It feels kind of random and whimsical， not really that helpful to the story from my perspective， but I’m sure for the Greeks reading in Homer’s time it was probably more meaningful。 I don’t like how the gods just randomly whisk people away in a mist or do other abilities that apparently are universal to all gods and have nothing to do with their particular gifting。My main complaint is just that it’s too repetitive。 I also wonder a lot about Homer’s intent。 According to scholars， they think this was written a few hundred years after these events took place。 But it’s written with a lot of details that make it feel pretty historical， all of these specific people with their backstories and so forth。 It seems odd that Homer would make up all of these details wholecloth。 I like to imagine that perhaps it was written during the time that these events happened， and he merely used these stories about the gods and these miraculous events in the battles as ways of explaining events that people witnessed that didn’t make a lot of sense。 War has lots of chaos in it， weird things happening all the time， and we need a way to make sense of these things that heavily impact us， like our best friend dying， or inexplicably losing a conflict that you thought you would win， or some enemy of ours seeming to just miraculously never get injured when your efforts would yield great results with anyone else。 If I look at it this way， Homer’s story makes sense; if I side with the scholars it just doesn’t。 So I choose to believe that Homer wrote about events that happened in his lifetime。There’s a lot of beautiful turns of phrase and epic scenes and other passages that also made this worth reading。 I’ve made an index of them for myself so that in the future I can refer to that instead of having to read the whole thing again。 Because l’m lazy， there’s only so much time， and frankly it was a slog to read sometimes。 But I’m still glad I read it。 It’s quite the epic。 Not one I always understand， but still， quite the epic undertaking， and done in prehistory before people really wrote epics。 Cheers， Homer， for all that you did and the way you paved to so much more in the world of literature that can all be passed back to you。 Thank you so much for what you did。 The world was changed because of you。 。。。more

The story is undoubtedly one of， if not， the greatest piece of literature ever written story wise， but it does not deliver in terms of character development and language choice。 Perhaps this is from the fact that it was written thousands of years ago， but I couldn’t connect with the story as well as I would if it were written recently。

A fine translation， while very old， from latin instead of greek， and in prose。 It's fine， basic， and interesting to see how the translation grows for those who are interested in that sort of thing。 A fine translation， while very old， from latin instead of greek， and in prose。 It's fine， basic， and interesting to see how the translation grows for those who are interested in that sort of thing。 。。。more

I have to give the Ancient Greeks their props。 They knew how to tell an enduring story。 That being said， I much prefer the tragedies and The Odyssey to The Iliad。 There are some interesting characters （I’ve long been a fan of much maligned Ajax） but the repetition of so-and-so son of such-and-such killing x person son of y really wore me down。 It made it a struggle to get through。 Some of that may be my thoroughly modern and lacking attention span。 *shrugs* That being said， I’m glad I read it an I have to give the Ancient Greeks their props。 They knew how to tell an enduring story。 That being said， I much prefer the tragedies and The Odyssey to The Iliad。 There are some interesting characters （I’ve long been a fan of much maligned Ajax） but the repetition of so-and-so son of such-and-such killing x person son of y really wore me down。 It made it a struggle to get through。 Some of that may be my thoroughly modern and lacking attention span。 *shrugs* That being said， I’m glad I read it and I am always interested in supporting female translators。 。。。more

I've tried reading this twice before， both times with older prose translations。 I was either bored， confused or both。 In addition， I've heard that The Iliad is a bit of a slog， and that it's The Odyssey that's the fun one。 But it seems it's all about the translation。 The Penguin Deluxe editions are gorgeous， and Fagles' translation of The Iliad is brilliant。 I was terrified of verse， but this was so readable， and not to mention engaging and fun。 It also helped that I read Mythos and Heroes befor I've tried reading this twice before， both times with older prose translations。 I was either bored， confused or both。 In addition， I've heard that The Iliad is a bit of a slog， and that it's The Odyssey that's the fun one。 But it seems it's all about the translation。 The Penguin Deluxe editions are gorgeous， and Fagles' translation of The Iliad is brilliant。 I was terrified of verse， but this was so readable， and not to mention engaging and fun。 It also helped that I read Mythos and Heroes before reading this， as well as watching some Youtube videos on Greek history and on Homer/The Iliad， and that it had a good introduction。 A bit of context is useful for this text。 So instead of being bored and confused， I thoroughly enjoyed this reading experience。 I learned that the greek gods are not portrayed unfairly in Mythos， they really are that bat shit crazy， without any justification。 Nothing in this book is fair play， and the humans would have likely been better off without their schemes。 I also learned a lot of different ways to mutilate someone's nipples， and most other parts of the body。 But the endless battle scenes didn't feel endless， and there was a lot of beauty in even the most horrific descriptions。 Most characters in this are at some point either hypocrites， self-centered or annoying， but they're also brave， loyal and （some） very cunning。 So if we put the sorting hat on a few of them， I'd say: - Odysseus and Agamemnon belong in Slytherin （though for different reasons）- Hector and Achilles in Gryffindor- Nestor is in Ravenclaw- Patroclus and Priam is in Hufflepuff- All the Gods are either in Gryffindor or Slytherin。 Seriously， the Greek needs a few more Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws amongst their gods （I'm sure there are some， though maybe not in this book）Mostly， I just found this epic poem to be thrilling， something I didn't expect。 Also educational， since every other text， modern or ancient， I've read from Rome or Greece， references Homer。 If The Iliad is this good， I can't wait to see what The Odyssey brings。 The consensus seems to be that The Odyssey is the most enjoyable。 。。。more

It took me 87 days to finish this book and as the days went on， I found myself loving this book more and more。 I have definitely found a favorite in terms of the classics。 Homer did a really good job with the Iliad and I’m looking forward to reading the Odyssey。 I did notice that Homer loved using similes/metaphors， but that didn’t take away from the book in any way， shape， or form。

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book。 There was a reverence about the song-like poetry， the complexities of mortal experience， and reckless abandon of godly power。 There was， and is with most classics， dissonance between the sophistication of the text and the archaic nature of man。 I wonder often if the dichotomy can exist where there is the presence of fundamental truth， honor and justice and the fallacy of woman as object， as commodity。
