"The most readable of all verse translations of the Iliad." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review![[Iliad Cover Image]](images/ou-cover.gif) "A refreshing insistence on translating each line of Greek in one line of English blank verse, avoiding any expansion of the original. The result is fluent, immediate, and read- - H.M. Roisman "A remarkably fresh and clear translation. As deceptively simple as an Attic frieze, it is at once true to its ancient original and inviting to readers today." - Luc Sante, author of Low Life, The Factory of Facts, and translator of Félix Fénéon's Novels in Three Lines.
