Because it makes for a good book to think she will keep his interest though. pdf, epub, mobi, kindle Description: This groundbreaking English version by Robert Fagles is the most important recent translation of Homer's great epic poem. The verse translation has been hailed by scholars as the new standard, providing an Iliad that delights modern sensibility and aesthetic without sacrificing the grandeur and particular genius of Homer's own style and language. The Iliad is one of the two great epics of Homer, and is typically described as one of the greatest war stories of all time, but to say the Iliad is a war story does not begin to describe the emotional sweep of its action and characters: Achilles, Helen, Hector, and other heroes of Greek myth and history in the tenth and final year of the Greek siege of Troy. --This text refers to the edition. From Library Journal Why another Iliad? Just as Homer's work existed most fully in its performance, so the Homeric texts call periodically for new translations. With this in mind, Fagles offers a new verse rendering of the Iliad. Maneuvering between the literal and the literary, he tries with varying degrees of success to suggest the vigor and manner of the original while producing readable poetry in English. Thus, he avoids the anachronizing of Robert Fitzgerald's translation, while being more literal than Richard Lattimore's. Fagles's efforts are accompanied by a long and penetrating introduction by Bernard Knox, coupled with detailed glossary and textual notes. - T.L. Cooksey, Armstrong State Coll., Savannah, Ga.

He had heard tales of the Impressionist painters meeting in the cafes of Paris, and the Abstract Expressionists having heated discussions at the Cedar Tavern in Greenwich Village. But there was no such gathering place for the artists of Princeton. Hoping to change this situation, he asked four prominent local artists, Margaret Johnson, Marie Sturken, Jane Eccles, and Joanne Scott to meet for a brain - storming session. They all agreed that a working artists’ group would be a vital addition to the Princeton community.

  • The Shields of Achilles and Aeneas: the Worlds Portrayed by Homer and Vergil
    Vanessa Peters The Shields of Achilles and Aeneas: The Worlds Portrayed by Homer and Vergil The epic simile is a common device in epic poetry; it forms a relationship between two un- likely things and causes one to be viewed through the lens of the other. Unlike a normal simile, an epic simile has a fully developed vehicle that reflects the complexity back on the tenor; that is, an epic sim- ile, in its increased length and depth, can have layers of complexity that a normal simile cannot. The shield of Achilles (Hom. Il. 18.558-709) in Book 18 of Homer’s Iliad and the shield of Aeneas (Verg. Aen. 8.738-858) in book 8 of Vergil’s Aeneid are examples of epic similes, in which the poet takes the role of the god who forges the shield and can comment on society unobtrusively.1 These shields convey different perspectives of Greek and Roman society. Whereas Homer shows the world of peace in con- trast to the world of war to illustrate the tragedy of the Iliad, Vergil expresses Roman triumphalism to glorify Rome and her people. Book 18 of the Iliad marks a turning point in the epic. In it, Achilles decides to return to bat- tle in order to avenge Patroclus’ death by killing Hector. Since he has lost his armour to the enemy, his mother Thetis, knowing that his fate is sealed, beseeches Hephaestus to forge him a new set (Il. 18.534). The god agrees to her request and sets out to work, creating a magnificent shield for Achilles to wear in battle.

  • The World of Agamemnon
    FROM DIRECTOR STEPHEN WADSWORTH THE WORLD OF AGAMEMNON Aeschylus’s Oresteia, consisting of three plays—Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides—is the only complete cycle that survives from the fifth century B.C., and Agamemnon is arguably the earliest dramatic masterpiece of Western culture. Aeschylus’s audiences, who watched all three plays in one day, were intimately familiar with the historical and cultural references in the plays. Twenty-six centuries later, we offer these notes to orient our audiences. There are many versions of most of the stories referred to in Agamemnon; we follow Aeschylus’s version in these notes. AGAMEMNON Agamemnon ruled Mycenae from the city of Argos. He married Clytaemnestra, mortal daughter of Zeus and Leda, and had three children, Iphigenia, Electra, and Orestes. All five family members were the subjects of dramas by the three great playwrights of the fifth century B.C. in Athens—Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Iphigenia and Electra are not featured in Aeschylus’s script, but they appear in this adaptation, in the chorus. THE HOUSE OF ATREUS Agamemnon’s grandfather Pelops won his wife in a chariot race by cheating, then betrayed and killed his co-conspirator, who as he lay dying, cursed the next generation of Pelops’s family. Pelops’s two sons, Atreus and Thyestes, inherited this curse and lived it out in a grisly power struggle. Thyestes seduced Atreus’s wife and disputed the throne of Argos. Defeated and exiled, he returned with his children as a supplicant. Atreus welcomed his brother back with a celebratory feast, at which he served Thyestes a dish of his own slaughtered sons.

  • ODYSSEY by Homer
    ! !English For review (not assigned)! ! "Heroic Enterprise" December 22, 1996, By Richard Jenkyns (from The New York Times) a review of THE ODYSSEY By Homer. Translated by Robert Fagles. Introduction and notes by Bernard Knox. 541 pp. New York: Viking. $35. Translators are the most generous of people, especially translators of poetry: they act as go-betweens, bringing us to an acquaintance with literatures other than our own, knowing all the while that there is so much in the best verse that can never be carried across from one language to another. In some respects, though, Homer is easier to translate than many great poets: the ''Iliad'' and the ''Odyssey'' depend much less on nuances of diction and the complex overtones of words than (say) Virgil or Aeschylus, and each is carried forward by a strong plot and a forceful narrative drive. Amazingly, E. V. Rieu's prose version of the ''Odyssey,'' first published in 1946, was Penguin Books' best-selling paperback until they knocked it from first place by publishing another literary classic, ''Lady Chatterley's Lover.'' Rieu seems dated today, sometimes bureaucratic (''Amphinomus carried the day and the meeting adjourned''), often too polite (for ''Cease these outrages'' he has ''I do ask you to refrain from these outrages'') and generally rather pedestrian, but his success showed that Homer can command a large modern audience. A new version of Rieu, revised and much improved by his son, was published in 1991; either this or the rival prose translation by Walter Shewring in Oxford's World's Classics series is a good one for the reader who is looking for the closest rendering of Homer's words, though neither is as close as Martin Hammond's Penguin translation of the ''Iliad,'' which like the Authorized Version of the Bible manages to sound like real language while remaining extraordinarily near to the original words.

  • Rewriting the Greeks: the Translations, Adaptations, Distant Relatives and Productions of Aeschylus’ Tragedies in the United States of America from 1900 to 2009
    Rewriting the Greeks: The Translations, Adaptations, Distant Relatives and Productions of Aeschylus’ Tragedies in the United States of America from 1900 to 2009. Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bethany Rose Banister Rainsberg, M.A. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Stratos E. Constantinidis, Advisor Dr. Bruce Heiden Dr. Joy Reilly Dr. Anthony Hill Copyright by Bethany Rose Banister Rainsberg 2010 Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine the practices of rewriting Aeschylus’ tragedies for American audiences and the manner in which these rewrites are “read” by stage directors who adapt them in their academic and non-academic theatre productions in the United States. In order to analyze the translation and performance practices of Aeschylus’ plays, this study will examine all English language translations, adaptations, and distant relatives of Aeschylus’ works for the twenty and twenty-first centuries and analyze key moments that connect and illuminate those works. The two central questions that drive this investigation are: (1) what kind of choices have the English-speaking translators made regarding the tragedies of Aeschylus, and (2) how have Aeschylus’ tragedies been rewritten by the practitioners of the American stage? Because of the proliferation and variance of Aeschylean translations into English, and research published to-date, an examination of these practices and texts provides a rich source for analyzing the larger issues of practice and critical evaluation of translation and performance. The seven tragedies of Aeschylus (Agamemnon, Libation Bearers, Eumenides, Prometheus Bound, Persians, Suppliants, and Seven Against Thebes) and the manner in which they plays have been interpreted by translators and producers from 1900 to 2009 will provide the data for this study.

  • MLA Citation Style
    MLA Citation Style UH-Downtown Library http://www.uhd.edu/library This handout provides a summary of rules established by the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers for documenting the original source of an idea or quotation. There are two steps in MLA documentation: (1) provide a brief citation to the original source in the text of your paper and (2) make a full citation on the Works Cited page at the end of your paper. For the most authoritative and complete set of rules for MLA style, see the MLA Handbook, Chapters 5-6. Documenting Sources in the Text Use parenthetical references in the text of your paper to show the original source of an idea or quotation. A parenthetical reference has brief information, usually the author’s last name and the page numbers of the section you are quoting or paraphrasing – just enough to help a reader find the source in the works cited list at the end of your paper. You have the option to include some information, such as the author’s last name, in the text itself, or you can put everything in a parenthetical reference. The parenthetical reference should be placed where a pause would naturally occur, such as at the end of a sentence. One author in text Marcuse made this claim (148-49). One author in reference This claim has been made (Marcuse 148-49). Two or three authors in text Hunt and Wilkins dispute this point (45-47). Hunt, Mao, and Wilkins dispute this point (45-47).

  • Book 1: Athena Inspires the Prince
    Form III (Grade 9) Summer Reading Assignment : The required summer reading for all incoming ninth-graders is Books 1-12 of The Odyssey by Homer (Robert Fagles’ translation). In order to enhance your understanding of the text, we are also requiring all incoming ninth- graders to complete the following study guide on Books 1-12. Your response to each question should be approximately 3-5 sentences and should be typed. We have provided a sample response below (to question #1) so that you have a clear idea of the expectations. You are required to bring your completed study guide to English class on the first day of school, and it will be counted as the equivalent of three homework assignments. The study guide provides important notes, summaries, concepts, and focus questions which are intended to help you know what to look for in the text and to aid your understanding of important themes and passages. Please note that your reading begins with Book 1 on p. 77 (you are not responsible for reading Fagles’ Introduction) and ends on p. 285 at the completion of Book 12. The rest of the text (Books 13-24) will be covered in class at the start of the school year. Finally, we ask that you do not use SparkNotes or other study aids as you complete your reading and your study guide. We are interested in your ideas and your insights, and teachers will go over Books 1-12 in class to make sure that you have a strong and clear understanding of the text before moving onto Books 13-24.
