Overview

Criticism of the English, French Latin, and Modern Greek translations of Homer's Iliad. Most translations fail to meet scholarly criteria mainly because of overlooking the poetic meaning of the ancient word. Secondarily, most translators miss the fundamental issue of what The Iliad is about. The Iliad is about ""klea andron"", the glorious and terrible deeds of men in relation to other men, the raw content of the soul of man, but not of woman. It is a vast lagoon of dream fragments of the male unconscious, haunted with eternal shadows that compete, strut, fight, kill and rape, and above all seek the approval of other men.
