Ilíada (edició en català)
La
Ilíada
és un poema de sostinguda grandesa i ple d'una eterna i crua veritat humana. Homer ens atansa a un món ple de violència i de passions primàries, sense matisos, en què el motor de l'acció no és tant Aquil·les com la seva ira.
En el darrer any de la guerra contra Toia, Aquil·les, irat contra Agamèmmon que li ha pres la captiva Briseida, es retira del combat. La seva absència ocasiona desastres terribles i provoca la desfeta de les forces aquees.Només una segona i més terrible còlera, causada per la mort del seu amic Pàtrocle, empenyerà Aquil·les de nou a la batalla.
Un poema, traduït ara per primera vegada en prosa, d'una sostinguda grandesa i també ple d'una eterna veritat humana, dins una atmosfera de poderosa fantasia.

About the author
Homer
4,737 books7,093 followersHomer (Greek: Όμηρος born c. 8th century BC) was a Greek poet who is credited as the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, two epic poems that are foundational works of ancient Greek literature. Homer is considered one of the most revered and influential authors in history.
Homer's Iliad centers on a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles during the last year of the Trojan War. The Odyssey chronicles the ten-year journey of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, back to his home after the fall of Troy. The poems are in Homeric Greek, also known as Epic Greek, a literary language which shows a mixture of features of the Ionic and Aeolic dialects from different centuries; the predominant influence is Eastern Ionic. Most researchers believe that the poems were originally transmitted orally. Despite being predominantly known for its tragic and serious themes, the Homeric poems also contain instances of comedy and laughter.
Homer's epic poems shaped aspects of ancient Greek culture and education, fostering ideals of heroism, glory, and honor. To Plato, Homer was simply the one who "has taught Greece" (τὴν Ἑλλάδα πεπαίδευκεν). In Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, Virgil refers to Homer as "Poet sovereign", king of all poets; in the preface to his translation of the Iliad, Alexander Pope acknowledges that Homer has always been considered the "greatest of poets". From antiquity to the present day, Homeric epics have inspired many famous works of literature, music, art, and film.
The question of by whom, when, where and under what circumstances the Iliad and Odyssey were composed continues to be debated. Scholars remain divided as to whether the two works are the product of a single author. It is thought that the poems were composed at some point around the late eighth or early seventh century BC. Many accounts of Homer's life circulated in classical antiquity; the most widespread account was that he was a blind bard from Ionia, a region of central coastal Anatolia in present-day Turkey. Modern scholars consider these accounts legendary.
