The Iliad, 9780977626908 (0977626903), Richer Resources Publications, 2006
"Ian Johnston provides his readers with a clear and comprehensible translation of the Iliad that presents itself as a dynamic equivalent of the Greek original. Johnston captures the text with an eye to both accuracry and his modern readership." --- Dr. Andrew Porter, University of Missouri-Columbia

"Johnston's translation is extremely faithful to Homer's Greek text, and yet at the same time is characterized by a very readable English style, so that the clarity and fluency of this translation immediately set it apart from many other alternatives. The result is an interesting and evocative synthesis of a past vision and modern sensibilities." --- Dr. Anne Leavitt, Professor of Philosophy and Liberal Studies, Malaspina University-College

This translation provides an accurate text of the Iliad in a modern English poetic form. It has been designed, first and foremost, for people who are reading Homer's Iliad for the first time. The book is accompanied by a complete glossary, maps and other study aids intended to help ensure that one's initial venture into the world of the Iliad is a fruitful one.
