Written by Homer - Translated by Robert Fagles - Narrated by Derek Jacobi with an introduction booklet by Bernard Knox - Abridged Poetic Fiction - 6 CASSETTES - 9 hours

Publisher, Penguin-HighBridge (June 1992)

Winner of the Academy of American Poets 1991 Landon Translation Award

"Astonishing…This should now become the standard translation for a new generation." --Peter Levi

"Robert Fagles has given us an Iliad to read aloud: eloquent, rhythmical, and full of power." --Jasper Griffin, Oxford University

"A remarkable tour de force...Better than any translator of our time, Fagles catches the relentless sweep of the original, the brutality of its battles, the passionate energy that explodes in gods, men, animals, even landscapes." Maynard Mack, Yale University

In this brilliant new translation, Robert Fagles brings the vigor of contemporary language to Homer's 2,700 year-old story of the Trojan War. The result is a wonderfully accessible Iliad that preserves every nuance of Homer's genius: the drive and metric music of his poetry, the directness and simplicity of his imagery, and the full breath of his prodigious imagination.

About the Narrator: Derek Jacobi has been one of Great Britain's leading actors for more than 30 years, appearing with such distinguished groups as Laurence Olivier's National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company. In the United States, he is best known for his brilliant performance in the title role of the celebrated Masterpiece Theatre presentation I, Claudius.
