Product Information

READ THE STORY BEHIND THE NEW BBC/NETFLIX EPIC SERIES, TROY- FALL OF A CITYA stunning new translation of Homer's great war epic, the legendary tale of honour, love, loss and revenge during the fall of the city of Troy. Read this stunning translation of Homer's great war epic, the legendary tale of honour, love, loss and revenge during the fall of the city of Troy. High on Olympus, Zeus and the assembled deities look down on the world of men, to the city of Troy where a bitter and bloody war has dragged into its tenth year, and a quarrel rages between a legendary warrior and his commander. Greek ships decay, men languish, exhausted, and behind the walls of Troy a desperate people await the next turn of fate. This is the Iliad- an ancient story of enduring power; magnetic characters defined by stirring and momentous speeches; a panorama of human lives locked in a heroic struggle beneath a mischievous or indifferent heaven. Above all, this is a tale of the devastation, waste and pity of war. Caroline Alexander's virtuoso translation captures the rhythms and energy of Homer's original Greek while making the text as accessible as possible to a modern reader, accompanied by extensive extra material to provide a background to the poem. The result of 3,000 years of story-telling, Homer's epic tale of the fall of Troy has resonated with every age and every human conflict- this is the Iliad at its most electrifying and vital.

      I like a good book and wished now I'd taken more notice at school of the Classics and what the teacher was trying to explain to us about literature. Everyone knows the story of the wooden horse of Troy and names like Helen, Paris, Achilles, etc - we've all heard of them. And the Greek gods who seem to decide what is going to be happening. It's fascinating. I never knew The Iliad was a poem. And now I know many people have translated it from Greek and done this in different ways with different interpretations and different degrees of rhyming. It's a whole new learning experience. The reading is not always easy. The copy I received has bits of the text highlighted, Sometimes, in yellow, sometimes in orange - I haven't figured out why the different colours - perhaps the yellow marker ...
