THE WORLD’S GREATEST WAR NOVEL Humans and gods wrestling with towering emotions. Men fighting to the death amid devastation and destruction. Perhaps the Western world’s first and best storyteller， Homer draws the reader in with bated breath. His masterful tale contains some of the most famous episodes in all of literature: the curse on the prophet Cassandra; the siege of Troy; the battle between Hector and Achilles; the face that launched a thousand ships; and of course， the deception of the Trojan Horse. To this day， the heroism and adventure of The Iliad have remained unmatched in song and story. In his “plain English” translation， W.H.D. Rouse makes a point to keep the language as colloquial as Homer’s original was， never pedantic， high-flown， or clichéd. In fact， it is the nearest contemporary English equivalent to the epic Homer’s audience heard at their banquets. Translated by W. H. D. Rouse With an Introduction by Seth L. Schein And a New Afterword byAdam Nicholson
“A great poem cannot be fully translated unless by a poet almost as great as its original author… W.H.D. Rouse… retells the story in fast， modern， colloquial prose. It is the first version I have ever seen which drives on as rapidly as the original and therefore it makes an excellent introduction to Homer. This is the translation to read first， if you have never read The Iliad.” —The New York Times Book Review
The Iliad《伊利亚特》是古希腊早期的传世文学作品，与《奥德赛》合称《荷马史诗》。全诗以特洛伊战争为题材，以希腊联军主帅阿伽门农与将领阿喀琉斯的争吵为核心，叙述了特洛伊战争结束前50天的精彩故事。
荷马（Homer，约公元前9世纪~前8世纪），相传为古希腊的游吟诗人，生于小亚细亚，创作了不朽史诗《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》，统称《荷马史诗》。关于荷马其人，学界目前没有确切证据证明荷马的存在，所以也有人认为他是传说中被构造出来的人物。而关于《荷马史诗》，大多数学者认为是当时经过几个世纪口头流传的诗作的结晶。荷马在口头诗歌的基础上旁征博引、推陈出新，用诗人的情怀及文字的魅力将特洛伊战争描绘得精彩绝伦。凭借杰出的艺术才能，他被但丁赞誉为“诗人之王”。 《荷马史诗》语言简练，情节生动，形象鲜明，结构严谨，是西方首部重要的文学作品，影响极为深远。荷马也被后人誉为与但丁、莎士比亚、歌德齐名的“世界四大诗人”之一。 Homer was probably born around 725BC on the Coast of Asia Minor， now the coast of Turkey， but then really a part of Greece. Homer was the first Greek writer whose work survives. He was one of a long line of bards， or poets， who worked in the oral tradition. Homer and other bards of the time could recite， or chant， long epic poems.
