Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Iliad of Homer, Vol. 1: Translated Into English Blank Verse A Translation of Homer - satisfactory alike to the scholar and to the English reader - being generally considered impossible, the present attempt will, it is feared, be deemed presumptuous. It may be pleaded, however, that the one version which ranks highest in public estimation, is notoriously a paraphrase - splendid indeed and marvellous, but written in a style wholly opposite to that of the original. Pope´s aspirations were beyond those of a translator: and in thus consulting his own fame as a poet, it may be said that he has supplanted rather than represented Homer. Under the circumstances of Pope´s pre-eminence and unbounded popularity, it is unnecessary, as it would be invidious, for the translator to offer any opinion on other versions.
