Book Description
Book XXII recounts the climax of the Iliad: the fatal encounter between the main defender of Troy and the greatest warrior of the Greeks, which results in the death of Hector and Achilles' revenge for the death of his friend Patroclus. At the same time it adumbrates Achilles' own death and the fall of Troy. This edition will help students and scholars better appreciate this key part of the epic poem. The introduction summarises central debates in Homeric scholarship, such as the circumstances of composition and the literary interpretation of an oral poem, and offers synoptic discussions of the structure of the Iliad, the role of the narrator, similes and epithets. There is a separate section on language, which provides a compact list of the most frequent Homeric characteristics. The commentary offers up-to-date linguistic guidance, and elucidates narrative techniques, typical elements and central themes.

Book Description
Poetry. Translation. Completed during 2004 and 2005, this translation of Book XXII of Homer's Iliad moves the tradition of classic Greek and Latin translation into the realm of experimental American poetry. Following in the footsteps of Pound's Homer and Zukofsky's Catullus, Jarnot reconfigures a pivotal moment in Homer's epic tale of warfare. Dedicated to the memory of people who just keep killing each other, this new vision of a classic text a poignant read in our present culture of boundless warfare.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Twenty-Second Book of the Iliad: With Critical Notes These mispronunciations constituted, as a matter of course, real and serious faults, and would have sounded ridiculous in a poem meant to be read. But we know from Homer's account of Demodocos that in his day epic poems - or ballads - were not read or recited, but sung or chanted; and in singing or chanting the jarring effect of wrong accentuation was, in all probability, to a great extent disguised. In later times, however, the case was altered. At least as early as the seventh century the Homeric poems became, as it were, text books in the schools, from which reading and writing were taught; and in reading the faults in accentuation inevitably disclosed themselves and became offensive. It was then that, in order to remedy matters, recourse was had (whether con sciously or unconsciously we cannot tell; probably the latter) to several expedients whereby other forms could be given to the offending words. These forms being new, a new accentua tion in accordance with the exigencies of the rhythm would be given to the words so produced with comparativelv little linguistic shock.
