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. \u003cbr\u003e Combining the skills of a poet and scholar, Robert Fagles 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.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Viking Adult","offers":[{"title":"Iliad | Homer | Hardcover | 9780670835102 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks D 1783192","offer_id":67579661680792,"sku":"1783192","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51zBYl4mu2L.jpg?v=1790363735","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/iliad-4","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
