More about the book

This long-awaited new edition is designed to bring the book into the 21st century--while leaving the poem as firmly rooted in ancient Greece as ever. Lattimore's elegant, fluent verses--with their memorably phrased heroic epithets and remarkable fidelity to the Greek--remain unchanged, but classicist Martin has added a wealth of supplementary materials designed to aid new generations of readers.
