Dating to the ninth century B.C., Homer’s timeless poem still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods wrestling
 with towering emotions and battling amidst devastation and destruction, as it moves inexorably to the wrenching, tragic
 conclusion of the Trojan War. 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.
Combining the skills of a poet and scholar, Robert Fagles, winner of the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation and
 a 1996 Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, 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.”
