![]() ![]() ![]() This translation of the Iliad began as scripts for solo performances I began giving ten years ago. ![]() Accuracy and nuance are attainable through scholarship and good writing technical problems admit of various solutions but what we love is the poet's voice, and finding its tone, rhythm, and power is the heart of Homeric translation. In the end, it is the greatness and reach of Homer as a poet that the translator must confront. This requires loyalty to the essential qualities of Homeric poetry-its directness, immediacy, and effortless musicality- more than replication of the verse's technical features (although these must be at least suggested). If Pound is right, and I think he is, then the real work of the Homeric translator is clear: to produce a version that is responsive not only to meaning and nuance but also to overall poetic effect, a version that has as much poetry as the original text, the translator's talent, and the current literary situation will yield. Pound's response was that if a person would take the trouble really to learn Greek, he could get all of it, or nearly all of it, in Homer. TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE A musician once asked Ezra Pound if there was anywhere one could get all of poetry, in the sense that one could get all of music in Bach.
