Now Wilson has returned with an equally revelatory translation of Homer’s other great epic—the most revered war poem of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Iliad roars with the clamour of arms, the bellowing boasts of victors, the fury and grief of loss and the anguished cries of dying men.It sings, too, of the sublime magnitude of the world—the fierce beauty of nature and the gods’ grand schemes beyond the ken of mortals. In Wilson’s hands, this thrilling, magical and often horrifying tale now gallops at a pace befitting its legendary battle scenes, in crisp but resonant language that evokes the poem’s deep pathos and reveals palpably real, even “complicated,” characters—both human and divine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe culmination of a decade of intense engagement with antiquity’s most surpassingly beautiful and emotionally complex poetry, Wilson’s Iliad now gives us a complete Homer for our generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecially bound paperback edition, with deckle-edging (rough-cut) pages and French flaps. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePages\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Pages\"\u003e848\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Publication Date\"\u003e2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Publisher\"\u003eW.
