Review: Translations of Ancient Greek and Latin poetry into English poetry vary widely, and so it is important to find one that will work for you and to go on to read several others. Unfortunately, reviews for several translations get grouped together on a product's page. Some of the ones you read here are for Fitzgerald's translation, some for Fagles, and many for ones that aren't named. Here, I am reviewing the translation by Robert Fitzgerald. I love this book. Fitzgerald is a fine poet, and his translations capture the lofty language of ancient epic in modern English extremely well. However, as someone who has taught the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid in high-school English classes for over 15 years, I wouldn't suggest starting with this translation. Stanley Lombardo's version serves that purpose much better (and is excellent in its own right). Translations by Sarah Ruden and Robert Fagles aren't far behind. I would recommend starting with Lombardo's and then moving onto Fitzgerald's. You may want to use the "Look Inside" feature on their desertcart pages to read a sample of each and judge for yourself before ordering. High-school students might need to start by reading a shorter version, as it is easy for them (and others) to get frustrated by the length of ancient epic and to get lost in language that is not clear to them. Then they're primed for reading a translation of the Aeneid. --Frank Hering Author of Virgil's Aeneid Retold for Young Adults

Diseño absolutamente bonito, como es habitual en la línea clothbound. Lo he comprado tras dos muy buenas adaptaciones de La Iliada y La Odisea y en esta ocasión incluye incluso más detalles, como mapas y árboles genealógicos (si bien unas notas al pie no vendrían mal en ocasiones para no tener que tirar de wikipedia). La versión es traducida a inglés, evidentemente.
