An elucidating introduction explores the poem's Bronze Age origins, its major themes, and its unsurpassed impact and influence. Also included in this edition are specially -drawn maps, a glossary (with pronunciation), and summaries and extensive notes for each book. The Norton Library is a growing collection of high-quality texts and translations--influential works of literature and philosophy--introduced and edited by leading scholars. Norton Library editions prepare readers for their first encounter with the works that they'll re-read over a lifetime. Inviting introductions highlight the work's significance and influence, providing the historical and literary context students need to dive in with confidence. Endnotes and an easy-to-read design deliver an uninterrupted reading experience, encouraging students to read the text first and refer to endnotes for more information as needed. An affordable price (most $10 or less) encourages students to buy the book and to come to class with the assigned edition., Part of the Norton Library series "The experience of reading Homer must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of a new translation. In her version of The Iliad, [Emily] Wilson enlivens the epic with rich sanguinary nutrients. . . . The result is an Iliad of clarity and approachability, its violence rendered with brutal intimacy: Wilson's translation is zippy, and it zips the reader to a place and time of alien savagery. . . . [T]he vigor of language and vision is undeniable." --Atlantic
