W.C. Bryant's verse translation has been acclaimed for over a century, rendering Homer's hexameter into the epic metre of our own \"manly and flexible tongue\". In Bryant's sublime blank verse, Homer's winged words take flight, never surpassed but in the Greek for grace and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his foreword, Ricardo Duchesne makes clear that Iliad is something more than an expression of a generic \"human condition\"--it is an expression of a distinctly and uniquely Indo-European aristocratic warrior ethos. Moreover, as he shows, Homer's poem represents a watershed moment in the emergence of consciousness itself, laying the foundation for the astonishing cultural efflorescence of classical Greece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs part of Imperium Press' \u003cem\u003eWestern Canon \u003c\/em\u003eseries, this definitive edition offers supplementary material placing this work at the centre of our aesthetic, intellectual, and spiritual life--where it belongs.
