       STANLEY LOMBARDO
    is professor of classics at the University of Kansas. His translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey were originally published by Hackett Publishing Company in 1997 and 2000, respectively.


    "This gave me the opportunity to participate in a project featuring two great and important works, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, and to further support the revival of Greek History and the Classics." 

    —Susan Sarandon


    "When Stanley Lombardo performs Homer, we feel what Bob Dylan calls the ‘inner substance’ of great folk songs, their ‘pulse and vibration and rumbling force’.
    We grasp the power words had before books, movies and iPods.™ Homer taught the ancient Greeks about life, death, love and war. Now in Lombardo’s words and voice, Homer teaches us, too."

    —Tom Palaima
    University of Texas at Austin


    "The quality of Stan’s voice, which has an honest, unshowy American core, makes these performances sound fresh, intimate, and believable— very different from those theatricized oral interpretations that overplay the 'epic' note."

    — Richard P. Martin
    Stanford University

    Reviews:

    "Gripping. . . . Lombardo's achievement is all the more striking when you consider the difficulties of his task. . . . [He] manages to be respectful of Homer's dire spirit while providing on nearly every page some wonderfully fresh refashioning of his Greek. The result is a vivid and disarmingly hardbitten reworking of a great classic."
         —Daniel Mendelsohn, The New York Times Book Review

    "It is hard to overstate the attractions of this translation. In a rhythm sinewy and flexible, with language that is precise, lyrical and fresh, Lombardo's Iliad pulses with all the power and luminosity of the Greek. He shows extraordinary sensitivity to the images and aural effects of the ancient poem. There are brilliant touches on every page. . . . Altogether this is as good as Homer gets in English."
         —Richard P. Martin, Princeton University

    "The most daring, rapid and colloquial translation of Homer's Iliad that I know. [Lombardo's] taut and punchy verse conveys admirably and accurately the excitement and desperation of the battle, the urgency of the commanders, the occasional flashes of humor, the passion of Homer's narrative and the vivid and subtle humanity of his characters."
