A Guardian, Observer, The i, Telegraph and New Statesman Best Book of 2023 • One of The New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2023 • A Washington Post Best Book of the Year 2023 • One of Time's 100 Must-Read Books of 2023 The greatest literary landmark of antiquity masterfully rendered by the most celebrated translator of our time When Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey appeared in 2017―revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that was “fresh, unpretentious and lean” (Madeline Miller, The Washington Post)―critics lauded it as “a revelation” (Susan Chira, The New York Times) and “a cultural landmark” (Charlotte Higgins, Guardian) that would forever change how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an equally revelatory translation of Homer’s other great epic―the most revered war poem of all time. The Iliad roars with the clamour of arms, the bellowing boasts of victors, the fury and grief of loss and the anguished cries of dying men. It sings, too, of the sublime magnitude of the world―the fierce beauty of nature and the gods’ grand schemes beyond the ken of mortals. In Wilson’s hands, this thrilling, magical and often horrifying tale now gallops at a pace befitting its legendary battle scenes, in crisp but resonant language that evokes the poem’s deep pathos and reveals palpably real, even “complicated,” characters―both human and divine. The culmination of a decade of intense engagement with antiquity’s most surpassingly beautiful and emotionally complex poetry, Wilson’s Iliad now gives us a complete Homer for our generation. "Wilson’s translation runs as swift as a bloody river, teems with the clattering sounds of war, bursts with the warriors’ hunger for battle"―Charlotte Higgins, The Guardian "Wilson’s Iliad is clear and brisk, its iambic pentameter a zone of enchantment. "―Ange Mlinko, London Review of Books "Superb... [a] beautiful, fluent, memorable translation"―Rowan Williams, New Statesman "Seduce[s] with its crystalline clarity, elegance, sensuality, sometimes breathless pace and above all emotional clout."―Edith Hall, The Guardian "A triumphant new translation of the Iliad... It's a poem you read with your heart in your throat. "―A. E. Stallings, The Spectator "A propulsive road... an excellent translation"―Natalie Haynes, BBC Culture "Sing, goddess, of the skill of Emily [Wilson]."―Robbie Millen, The Times "Emily Wilson’s superb rendering of the Greek epic resounds with Miltonic echoes"―The Telegraph "In Wilson's hands, the poem sings with the clash of bronze, the thundering of hooves, the savage holler of war-cries. Her use of iambic pentameter imbues it with irresistible pace and rhythm. It flows like music – exhilarating, tragic, beautiful and stirring"―Jennifer Saint, the i newspaper "Excellent... [Wilson] achieves a fluid and consistent vision."―Philip Womack, Spectator World
