Books like The Iliad of Homer, Vol. 1 of 2: With an Introduction and Notes

This review is of the Tantor Media e-audio book narrated by Michael Page, which includes the entire Iliad. I didn't realize until the very end that the translation is centuries old, but it explains some things. (Pope's favorite word: "refulgent." I had to look it up. It means shiny.) I chose to listen rather than read because that's how Homer's audience would have experienced this epic poem. Also, so I could drive around and do chores. I missed a lot, as would guests at a banquet with a bard, but I got the gist of it. So many ways to die a violent death! Such sorrow, such waste. I can highly recommend Page as a narrator. Even when I tuned out of the meaning, his delivery was beautiful. Sorry I didn't figure out how to add this edition. It's the one my library has on Overdrive. Oh... maybe Goodreads won't allow it, owned by Amazon as it is...
