THE ILIAD  Creatively Translated by Bruce Heiden

“This is a really fine translation:  readable, well-paced, and often lovely.  Achilles’ voice came alive for me as never before.”—Laurie O’Higgins, Euterpe Dukakis Chair of Classical and Medieval Studies, Bates College

“Here is someone who knows Homer and Greek.  Here is someone who can write poetry.  I felt I was hearing the poem as I hear it in my head when I am reading it in the original.”—Phillip Mitsis, Alexander Onassis Professor of Hellenic Culture and Civilization and Professor of Classics, New York University

“Book XXII is so exciting in this English version!  I really felt the high stakes.  The similes are rendered artfully, and the descriptions shine with a luminous quality.  This is powerful writing! ⸺Zack Rogow, author of Irreverent Litanies

“Heiden perfectly captures the essence of the original work and translates it to fit a modern palate.  I can easily see this translation being used for classroom study.” The_Poppy_Jar, Pagebound
