The Iliad/
Homer; translated by Robert Fitzgerald.
- Everyman's Library, 1992
- xxvi, 594 p.
Since it was first published, Robert Fitzgerald's prizewinning translation of Homer's battle epic has become a classic in its own right: a standard against which all other versions of The Iliad are compared. Fitzgerald's work is accessible, ironic, faithful, written in a swift vernacular blank verse that "makes Homer live as never before"
