Rezensionen

A compelling translation of the Iliad, written with great verve, and 'naturally declaimable' in English, as Peter Green intended. His concern for first-time readers makes the story, its rhetoric, and its poetic power vividly accessible. - Pat Easterling, Emeritus Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge University
