This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 755 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The people took the bones, enwrapped them with Soft purple robes, and laid them down within A golden urn, to place it in a hollow Kist of stone, and cover it above With close-set rocks and earth to make a mound. ...When they had raised the mound Of earth above the grave, they went back to The city and assembled for a splendid Banquet in the hall of Príamos. Thus were the funeral rites completed for Illustrious Héktōr, the horsetamer.” When the humiliated Akhilleús withdrew from battle, the Akhaians were on the verge of being defeated by the Trojans. However, in this second volume, when Pátroklos, Akhilleús’ beloved comrade, dies in battle, Akhilleús is enraged. Dressed in a divine panoply, he returns to the fray, defeats the Trojans, and slays their champion Héktōr, desecrating the corpse of his opponent so outrageously that the Gods are outraged. They arrange for King Príamos to be escorted across the battle lines to Akhilleús’ abode. There, touched by the old man’s grief and courage, Akhilleús breaks down and achieves redemption by returning Héktōr’s corpse to Troy for honorable burial. The Iliad ends with Héktōr’s funeral rites. This volume ends with Notes for Books XIII-XXIV, and Glossaries describing the characters and the gods.

Download or read book The Shield of Achilles written by W. H. Auden and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in print for the first time in decades, Auden’s National Book Award–winning poetry collection, in a critical edition that introduces it to a new generation of readers The Shield of Achilles, which won the National Book Award in 1956, may well be W. H. Auden’s most important, intricately designed, and unified book of poetry. In addition to its famous title poem, which reimagines Achilles’s shield for the modern age, when war and heroism have changed beyond recognition, the book also includes two sequences—“Bucolics” and “Horae Canonicae”—that Auden believed to be among his most significant work. Featuring an authoritative text and an introduction and notes by Alan Jacobs, this volume brings Auden’s collection back into print for the first time in decades and offers the only critical edition of the work. As Jacobs writes in the introduction, Auden’s collection “is the boldest and most intellectually assured work of his career, an achievement that has not been sufficiently acknowledged.” Describing the book’s formal qualities and careful structure, Jacobs shows why The Shield of Achilles should be seen as one of Auden’s most central poetic statements—a richly imaginative, beautifully envisioned account of what it means to live, as human beings do, simultaneously in nature and in history.

Book excerpt: TOLSTOY CALLED THE ILIAD A miracle; Goethe said that it always thrust him into a state of astonishment. Homer’s story is thrilling, and his Greek is perhaps the most beautiful poetry ever sung or written. But until now, even the best English translations haven’t been able to re-create the energy and simplicity, the speed, grace, and pulsing rhythm of the original. In Stephen Mitchell’s Iliad, the epic story resounds again across 2,700 years, as if the lifeblood of its heroes Achilles and Patroclus, Hector and Priam flows in every word. And we are there with them, amid the horror and ecstasy of war, carried along by a poetry that lifts even the most devastating human events into the realm of the beautiful. Mitchell’s Iliad is the first translation based on the work of the preeminent Homeric scholar Martin L. West, whose edition of the original Greek identifies many passages that were added after the Iliad was first written down, to the detriment of the music and the story. Omitting these hundreds of interpolated lines restores a dramatically sharper, leaner text. In addition, Mitchell’s illuminating introduction opens the epic still further to our understanding and appreciation. Now, thanks to Stephen Mitchell’s scholarship and the power of his language, the Iliad’s ancient story comes to moving, vivid new life.
