Stanley Lombardo


Born
in New Orleans, Louisiana, The United States
June 19, 1943

Genre


Stanley F. "Stan" Lombardo (alias Hae Kwang) is an American Classicist, and former professor of Classics at the University of Kansas.
He is best known for his translations of the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid (published by the Hackett Publishing Company). The style of his translations is a more vernacular one, emphasizing conversational English rather than the formal tone of some older American English translations of classical verse. Lombardo designs his translations to be performed orally, as they were in ancient Greece. He also performs the poems, and has recorded them as audio books. In performance he also likes to play the drums, much like Ezra Pound.
