The Iliad (Signet Classics)

Excellent translation.

Great Shipping and timing and the book had no damage when it was delivered, definitely recommend this.

Good book for studying!gives an awesome view on the original idea.I'm inly on book 2 but it has been a very informative book. Very well laid out.Plenty of excerpts.

I hadn't read this in decades and decided to listen to it and purchasing this Kindle edition allowed my to purchase the Audible audio book edition for a very low price. The reader did a good job; though I wasn't greatly impressed with his characterizations. He used nearly the same voice for all of the characters. I find that I enjoy audio books more when I can tell who the character is by the voice and can hear the emotions in the voice. For what I paid it was acceptable.The is the translation by Butler, which is a very good prose translation that I found easy to understand and follow. The major complaint of this translation is that it uses the names of the Roman gods instead of the Greek gods as Homer originally wrote. If you can get past this issue, it is a great translation.The story is a major classic and gives you a feel for how the ancients thought. It is very violent and is a world view that it foreign to most of us where women are treated like property, physical strength is highly valued, and superstition is very strong. This is well worth reading or listening to.

I used this book for a class I had and it came in a timely manner and exactly as displayed. Really happy with this purchase.

A good translation. Appropriate for most readers.

This prose translation was perfect for my high school aged son to enjoy and develop a new love for Homer's tale. The language was straightforward, but still very expressive. I would recommend this translation to anyone unfamiliar with the Iliad.

Great book

Probably the best war story ever told. Want love, romance, soul, spirit, tenderness and star-crossed lovers? You might want to look elsewhere. Ha ha.Like Sea of Rust (a novel about horny robots) I intend on reading this book once a year.These are my favorite Amazon purchases:- Icon by Frank Frazetta- Infinite Worlds by Vincent DiFate- Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

Buen libro excelente material en las patas y la impresión excelente también

Nay. Never a saying so true. Such a wonderful classic.

Arrived quickly and the price was great, but don't like the fact it arrived damaged. The cover and multiple pages were ripped and bent.

this is first real book I read and it has change my live since.Homer is the father of all writers !
