HOMER SPEAKS - LISTEN UP! More than 3,000 years after the fall of Troy, here at last is a rendition of the Homeric epic that everybody can understand and appreciate. The world can't hear Homer speak his own words, but Stanley Lombardo is the next best thing. Reading his own acclaimed (unabdriged) translations, Lombardo's insightful rendition takes advantage of the rhythms and other poetic resources of everyday American speech. The result provides cinematic and performance qualities to the time-honored poetry--sharp scene cuts, dynamic language, urgency of the characters (human and divine). His virtuoso performance in these audiobooks reflects years of experience before a wide variety of audiences--beautifully paced, shaped, intoned, and acted throughout. Stanley Lombardo is a Professor of Classics at Kansas University
The classics are rapidly receding from public consciousness, and modern revisions of them, such as the film O Brother, Where Art Thou, are in genuine danger of never being linked to their original inspiration. Noted classicist Stanley Lombardo breathes new life into some of the most famous and beloved ancient works with this engaging and vibrant audio performance of carefully selected excerpts of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. This state-of-the-art compact disc recording provides high-quality access to some of the greatest works in world literature.
