The translation of the Iliad by G. Psyhoutakis completes, following the translation of the Odyssey published in 1979, the rendition of the Greek epic which is the masterpiece of world poetry of all time.

This translation is the only one that preserves the comfort and magic of Homeric speech; here, it is not a scholarly translator speaking, but the ordinary person who maintains their linguistic instinct and recreates the Homeric epic as they felt and absorbed it.

A translation with precision and elegance, where the Cretan speech of Kornaros, the mantinada, and the rizitiko intertwine with Homeric language, and the rhyme not only does not adulterate the text but enriches it, maintaining the poetic element, the soul of the Homeric original.
