One of the foremost achievements in Western literature, Homer's Iliad tells the story of the darkest episode in the Trojan War. At its center is Achilles, the greatest warrior-champion of the Greeks, and his refusal to fight after being humiliated by his leader, Agamemnon. But when the Trojan Hector kills Achilles's close friend Patroclus, Achilles storms back into battle to take revenge - knowing full well that this will ensure his own early death.

This tragic series of events is interwoven with powerfully moving descriptions of the ebb and flow of battle, of the domestic world inside Troy's besieged city of Ilium, and of the conflicts between the gods on Olympus as they argue over the fate of mortals. The Iliad is a work of extraordinary pathos and profundity that concerns itself with issues as fundamental as the meaning of life and death. Even the heroic ethic itself - with its emphasis on pride, honor, prowess in battle, and submission to the inexorable will of the gods - is not left unquestioned. This version of The Iliad is the translation by Alexander Pope.

This might be a product of the poetic rhythm, but I think the maturation lacked emotional variance across scenes and characters. However the narrator was very clear and easy to follow.

Narration became monotonous

The graphic detail of prose puts the reader directly into the battle in a way even watching a movie could not. Very long and drawn out telling but as such was the times for oral tradition/stories. Would highly recommend and set reading cadence to 1.2-1.5 for dramatic effect.

The longest poem.

Not the most accessible version of THE ILIAD but worth indulging in at least once if you are a fan of Homer.

What a narrator! Reading Pope is so hard, but he never faltered once. Great job!

Having never read it, it was high on my to-read list. Having survived the 20 hours I can say I’m glad it’s finally over. The narrator is absolutely phenomenal, one of the best I’ve heard. But being written in verse, it was difficult for my uneducated mind to follow, despite being very familiar with the story of Troy and Achilles already as I’m a nerd. Overall, glad I listened to it, but man am I glad it’s over.

Hard but worth it

All the gods and heroes are the Roman translation: Ulysses vice Odysseus, Mars vice Aries. Wished I had found a fully translated version before I bought it. Still a great classic!

Dactylic hexameter does not work in English. If you want that structure in a modern language look for a Hungarian translation, or learn Ancient Greek. This translation nevertheless manages to bring Homer’s Sun hot poem to beauty in English. Michael Page has a wonderful voice and delivers this poem in rare form. It is a shame he has not voiced the pope translation of the odyssey.

If you have song in your heart, you owe it to yourself to listen

I’ll keep this short, I love the Iliad but the narrator is the problem. He speaks clearly but he reads the peon without any inflection or emotion resulting in a dry reciting.

A true classic but…

I Would have preferred it in dactylic hexameter. It sounded more Elizabethan than Greek heroic verse.

Lack of heroic verse?

I find myself wishing that Michael Page also did Pope's Odyssey. This was such a fun 65 hours. Often I would rewind and relisten to the most beautiful parts.

Pope's masterful verse translation comes to life
