	Parmenides Publishing: Publications: Stanley Lombardo
		Lombardo's taut and punchy verse conveys admirably and accurately the excitement and desperation of the battle, the urgency of the commanders, the occasional flashes of humor, the passion of Homer's narrative and the vivid and subtle humanity of his characters."
		Lombardo, a veteran of many performances of his translation, delivers the poem himself in a well-modulated, walnutty voice that occasionally roars out dramatically to handle the more exuberant, even bumptious, passages.
		Lombardo has rendered the story of the final stretch of the Trojan War and its plethora of jealous, vengeful gods and warriors feasting, battling and endlessly speechifying, more boldly modern and recognizable than the remote marble tableaux conjured by most other versions.

	Stanley Lombardo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stanley Lombardo is a professor of Classics at the University of Kansas.
		The style of his translations is a more vernacular one emphasizing conversational English rather than the Ivy League tone of some older English translations of classical verse.
		Lombardo designs his translations to be performed orally, as they were in ancient Greece.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 94.10.18
		Lombardo inserts "vajra" beside thunder, for which Lamberton's note states that there is an "Indo-European tradition" which is "parallel" to "early Greek poetry." I suspect this odd phrasing is deliberate, that Lamberton rejects a causal link between the Indo-European and Greek traditions, and that he follows West's commentary (1966, n.
		Lombardo's "abusive" seems to be more specific than the Greek, and to imply one aspect of the "sex war" (as Tony Harrison puts it) which does not occur in Hesiod.
		Lombardo's finding of a "voice" for Hesiod was a brilliant jest, even more impressive because he exercises such restraint, and he produces a vivid text, which will be comprehensible and entertaining for undergraduates.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.09.37
		As with Lombardo's previous translations (perhaps most evident in the stylization of the narrator's voice in his Works and Days [1993]), this translation is marked by its attempts to render the particular voicing and tone of the author being translated.
		Lombardo's translations, with their contractions and spoken American idioms, are generally less restrained than Campbell's own prose translations (e.g., "I don't want to leave you" [Lombardo 11], "I can't get any words out" [Lombardo 20], "It's easy to show this" [Lombardo 31]).
		Lombardo (xxvi) remarks that, "[w]here my translation differs from Campbell's main text, which is not often, I am either using one of the variant readings he prints in his apparatus criticus or simply allowing myself to diverge from a literal rendering." Examples of Lombardo's differing from Campbell, include Lombardo 2, 9, 10, and 61.

		Stanley Lombardo's translation of the Iliad is well-suited to the needs of instructors who have become increasingly frustrated with their students' intolerance for the simple act of sustained reading, but in rendering the epic palatable to the contemporary undergraduate Mr.
		Lombardo sacrifices the austere diction of Homer's verse.
		Lombardo has certainly not gone so far in the direction of popularization as this, but his characters do sound like folks on the street rather than heroes capable of lifting a stone such as ten men today could not budge.

	Iliad by Homer, Stanley Lombardo
		Lombardo performed his version live for many years before publishing this translation, and I have to feel that reading his version may be as close as one can come to what Homer's original listeners felt.
		Lombardo, on the other hand, is my preferred translation for sitting back and reading what is still a rip-roaring adventure (with enough deep thoughts to give it extra weight).
		Lombardo confesses there really is no way to adequately convey the "musicality" of the original, and goes on to re-cast it in freer poetry, based on natural speech.

		I became familiar with Stanley Lombardo's work after reading his translation of the Iliad, so when I saw that he also had a translation of the Odyssey available, I eagerly went out and bought a copy.
		Whereas Lombardo's Iliad was full of adrenaline and very energetic, I thought that his version of the Odyssey was definitely more calm and introspective, focusing on Odysseus' personal anguish and quest for retribution.
		As in his previous translation of the Iliad, Lombardo drops the use of dactylic hexameter in the present work and treats the use of similes and epithets in a special manner - all in an effort to minimize the problems encountered in translating from the original Greek to English.

		West (1988) like Lombardo phrases the first section of this sentence in an archaic manner: O hearken as thou seest and hearest, and make judgment straight with righteousness, Lord; while I should like to tell Perses words of truth.
		In Lombardo's version, the description of Pandora takes on the tones of Hank Williams: Pallas Athena put on the finishing touches, And the quicksilver messenger put in her breast Lies and wheedling words and a cheating heart.
		Here is Lombardo's description of their progress to Olympus: Then they process to Olympus, a glory of pure Sound and dance, and the fl earth shrieks with delight As they sing, and the drum of their footfalls rises like love As they go to their father.

		Lombardo: That because it’s a classical work, it should sound like Elizabethan English, or at least have some element of archaic diction — I think those are the expectations.
		Although Lombardo tries to use everyday, albeit poetic, speech to translate Homer, he admits that Homer himself used a kind of specialized poetic dialect to write the poem.
		Lombardo does dramatic readings of Homer and a theater group staged his version of the Iliad at the Lincoln Center a year or two ago.

		The version of Iliad translated by Stanley Lombardo is a brave departure from previous translations; Lombardo attempts to adapt the text to the needs of readers rather than the listeners for whom the work was originally intended.
		Lombardo concedes from the start that "Homer's musicality cannot be heard in any kind of English," and so he does not compose his Iliad in hexameters or, for that matter, in any standard, regular meter.
		Instead, based on his experience as an oral performer of Homer's poetry, he writes the lines "based on the cadences of natural speech." The result is a Homer that "is brought to life" for the modern reader with no loss of original integrity?the achievement of a scholar, translator, and performer.
