About this ebook
Este ebook presenta "La Ilíada" con un sumario dinámico y detallado.
La Ilíada es una epopeya griega y el poema más antiguo escrito de la literatura occidental. Se atribuye tradicionalmente a Homero. Narra los acontecimientos ocurridos durante 51 días en el décimo y último año de la guerra de Troya. El griego Aquiles se enfada con Agamenón, el caudillo de los griegos que habían ido a Troya a rescatar a Helena. Los troyanos ponen en apuros a los griegos, por lo que Patroclo, amigo de Aquiles, sale a luchar y muere a manos del troyano Héctor. Aquiles vuelve al campo de batalla para vengar la muerte de su amigo. Mata a Héctor y se niega a devolver el cadáver a los troyanos, el anciano rey Príamo suplica a Aquiles y le ofrece un gran botín para poder enterrar a su hijo. Aquiles cede y permite que los troyanos se lleven el cuerpo de Héctor.
Homero (Siglo IX a.C. - Siglo VIII a.C.) es el literato más famoso de la época arcaica, considerado el autor de dos de las obras más importantes de la Literatura Universal: la Iliada y la Odisea. También se le atribuyen otras obras, como la Batracomiomaquia, los conocidos como "himnos homéricos" y algunos autores le atribuyen el llamado Ciclo Épico al completo, que incluye más poemas sobre la guerra troyana y varias epopeyas sobre las guerras entre argivos y tebanos y sobre la figura de Edipo.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Brilliant.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If over 600 pages of lyrically-rendered death, blood, and mayhem sound like your cup of tea, than you'll definitely want to read this. People get eviscerated, skewered, decapitated, hewed, trampled, hacked, cleaved, etc, and it's all really very poetic. I just wasn't wildly enthusiastic about it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This review refers to Barry B. Powell’s translation, published by Oxford UP.This translation is very stiff and the phrasing sounds unnatural. However, the introduction is interesting, the footnotes are actually helpful, and the images scattered throughout were a nice touch.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I read this too quickly and passively. One day I'll give it another shot.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I read this book, then watched Troy the movie. I think the movie made me appreciate the book a little more, and the book made me appreciate the movie a lot more. The movie helped me to see more of the emotions of the characters in a way that Homer did not through character development. For instance Achilles dislike of Agamemnon.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A king offends his strongest ally in the middle of a war.Good. It's very repetitive, but its interesting.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Two things I learned from this:
- Translation is everything. Fagles isn't perfect, but he moves quickly and easily - not too stilted or weird - and he doesn't skimp on the blood and guts.
- Introduction is awfully important. Bernard Knox is a new hero of mine; this intro is widely and correctly considered a classic piece on Homer. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've read this a couple of times now and find it more and more compelling. The bickering of the gods is amusing, the rage of achilles is both maddening but also rendered well, the battle scenes are viscously detailed. It's a demanding text, but this translation makes the reading easy, even if the names and events are not.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is best read slowly - I limited myself to one chapter a day - to savour the full of effect of names, gods, repetitions, actions. Beautiful and awesome.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Interestingly enough I was able to get through it easily. I didn't skip at all even though there was mostly a lot of fighting. Who killed whom- how they died. Gods were interesting. (I did actually skip the 2nd chapter about who went to the Trojan War- Gods kept switching sides.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I listened to the audio version of this and I will have to listen to it again, probably more than once. It's a rambling story, but a great window onto another time and place, and perhaps more importantly, a pre-modern, oral mode of storytelling which I could stand some more of.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Don't read this book - listen to it. Epic poetry is meant to be recited...
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Translated into English Prose by Andrew Lang, Walter Leaf and Ernest Myers
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I read this on the tail of reading The Song of Achilles by Emmy Miller--I wanted to see if I could detect the homoerotic subtext between Achilles and Patroclus myself. The answer to that is definitely Yes, but now I'm curious what other translations are like. This one--by Stanley Lombardo--is pretty jocular, which suits a poem about battle, I guess. So I wonder how other translators handle it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I decided not to finish reading this. There were parts I was thoroughly caught up in and loving, but then they were followed by sections with the gods interfering and being a nuisance. The human drama and description of battle was terrific, but the gods ruined everything the humans were about to achieve. I don't have the patience to work through it at this time of my life, and so decided I would move on.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Homer's Iliad is an epic in all definitions of the word. Fagles does Homer great justice in preserving the iambic hexameter of the verse while capturing the true essence of the great Trojan War. Despite a difference of almost 3000 years, the nature of the human spirit remains intact and prevails as the motivation for all actions of this great epic. Achilles and numerous other characters reveal the constant nature of the human spirit and its ability to triumph and be defeated.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Gory, long, and strangely moving. The action is pretty much nonstop, and the characters felt like real people. This is the only translation I've read, so I can't compare to others, but it was pretty smooth reading.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the corner stones of all of Western Literature
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The translation is a little dated
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Fitzgerald translation is pretty much still the standard and it preserves the meter of Homer pretty well.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Glad I read it, but it was a long haul getting through.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's the Iliad; it is what you make of it. If you compare it to modern story telling, I think a lot of readers will find it lacking, especially with the constant battle scenes. We're used to getting petty drama in our petty dramas, tragic deaths in our tragedies, gory action in our gory action thrillers. This oral tradition has it all mashed up together.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm actually not sure which translation of this I read, but what fun. I studied this in class in high school and the teacher did an excellent job of bringing in other sources to explain the allusions and make it more compelling.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Homer is the tradition of epic storytelling and reading it in Spanish is enjoying it on a whole new level.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A cornerstone of Western literature that remains hugely influential. Read it for that reason, and because the poetry is still enjoyable enough to be read aloud with panache. The story itself is mostly a catalog of slaughter with very little human drama, although the interaction between the gods and the human characters is fascinating and tragic.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What a great translation.....
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5READ IN DUTCH/GREEK
Also by Homer, but less well known than The Odyssey. I translated this book in my Greek class. But I'm still planning to read the whole book (as a book rather than translating) - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was great. I sometimes find reading epic poems in their poetic form distracting so the prose translation was perfect for me. The introduction was brief and general, which is nice in a book that some would call long and difficult. Other than that, one of the greatest stories of all time. The only person I would steer away from this particular version of The Iliad is someone looking for a poetic translation.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My favourite book/poem ever. I read the Robert Fagles edition (Penguin Classics) of both the Iliad and Odyssey and highly recommend it. I had no problem following the story and enjoying the style.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A Classic ancient poem, filled with action, love, violence and war.
