Iliad Audiobook

Since it was first published more than forty years ago, 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. This definitive translation of Homer''s epic is timeless in its authority and always fresh in its vivid rendering of the preeminent war story of the Western world.

In keeping with the oral tradition of the time, Dan Stevens''s extraordinary narration makes this epic tale come alive. The listener becomes totally immersed in the adventure and drama of the story - this is the way The Iliad was meant to be experienced.

Also included on the program is a portion of the poem read in ancient Greek so that listeners may experience the lyricism and music of the original language.
