The Odyssey is vividly captured and beautifully paced in this swift and lucid new translation by acclaimed scholar and translator Peter Green. Accompanied by an illuminating introduction, maps, chapter summaries, a glossary, and explanatory notes, this is the ideal translation for both general readers and students to experience The Odyssey in all its glory. Green’s version, with its lyrical mastery and superb command of Greek, offers readers the opportunity to enjoy Homer’s epic tale of survival, temptation, betrayal, and vengeance with all of the verve and pathos of the original oral tradition.

Iliaden er et langt fortellende dikt, som i Kjell Arild Pollestads oversettelse er gjort om til flytende, norsk prosa. Sammen med Odysseen, utgjør Iliaden det tidligste litterære utrykk for europeisk mentalitet, og kan sies å være både forløper og grunnlag for den moderen romanen. Iliaden er den eldste av de to homeriske heltediktene som innleder hele vår europeiske litteratur. Handlingen i Iliaden er lagt til en kort episode under grekernes ti år lange beleiring av Troja. Skipene deres er trukket opp på stranden, og krigerne har slått leir i hytter nede ved fartøyene. Kampene foregår på sletten mellom leiren og bymurene. Kong Agamemnon, som har kommandoen over hele den greske hæren, har sammen med sin bror Menelaos, kongen i Sparta, fått de andre greske fyrstene til å avlegge ed på at de skal delta i en krig mot Priamos, Trojas konge, siden Paris, en av Priamos’ mange sønner, har bortført Menelaos’ hustru, den skjønne Helena. Iliaden begynner med en krangel mellom Agamemnon og Akilles, grekernes fremste stridsmann, som ender med at Akilles trekker seg ut av striden helt til vennen Patroklos blir drept. Da griper han igjen til våpen og dreper Hektor, Priamos’ kjæreste sønn, men grepet av farens tårer overlater han liket til kong Priamos. Iliaden ender med Hektors gravferd
