Ilias

$112.00

In 24 Gesängen schildert die "Ilias" die Endphase des zehnjährigen Kampfes um Troja. Im Mittelpunkt der breit angelegten dramatischen Handlung steht der von Agamemnon in seiner Ehre verletzte Achilleus. Homer schöpfte zwar aus dem reichen Fundus mündlicher Überlieferung, konzentrierte jedoch alle kompositorischen und stilistischen Mittel auf ein Zentralmotiv, den Zorn des Achilleus, so dass bereits die "Ilias" eine Dichtung von überraschender Individualität ist. Mit Urtext, Anhang und Registern.

Odyssee

$98.00

Die rätselhafte Gestalt des Dichters und Rhapsoden Homer ragt aus den dunklen Anfängen des Abendlandes in unsere Gegenwart hinein. Über sein Leben und seine Umwelt ist wenig bekannt, aber sein Werk hat auch nach mehr als zweieinhalb Jahrtausenden noch nichts von seiner Gültigkeit eingebüßt. Die beiden großen Dichtungen Homers, die Ilias und die Odyssee, bezeichnen nicht nur den glanzvollen Beginn des europäischen Epos, sondern der abendländischen, ja der Weltliteratur überhaupt. Sie sind die "Urromane" der Menschheit, wie Jean Paul einmal gesagt hat. Die größten Geister von der Antike bis zur deutschen Klassik, von Vergil bis Goethe haben ihn bewundert und gepriesen und in seinem mächtigen Schatten gedichtet. In Homers Heldengesängen vom Kampf um Troja scheinen alle Motive und Triebkräfte der Menschheitsdichtung beispielhaft vorgebildet zu sein: Kampf und Abenteuer, Sieg und Untergang, Liebe und Hass, Heroentum und Niedrigkeit, Mythos und historische Wirklichkeit. So ist Homers Werk Anfang und Vollendung zugleich. Mit Einführung und Literaturhinweisen von A. Heubeck.

The Iliad

$22.00

Homer's epic about the horrors and heroism of the final year of the Trojan War is one of Western literature's most enduring and moving tales. Joe Sachs, whose translations are known for being faithful to the original Greek, brings new layers of depth, understanding, and interest to the poem.

Why translate the Iliad? Joe Sachs explains his motivation:

My own reading of the poem has been influenced less by the books and essays that discuss it than by its translators. I have read quite a few, and the variety among them is striking…Once, long ago, I expected that eventually I would find one translation the most satisfying. What I found instead was that it was the very multiplicity of them that was getting me closer to Homer. Felicitous phrases from them all have remained with me, and the way their words move and sound has helped me come to hear, in my inward ear, Homer’s voice.

Renowned philosophy professor Joe Sachs taught for thirty years in the Great Books program at St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland. He has translated Homer’s Odyssey (Paul Dry Books, 2014); Aristotle’s Physics, Metaphysics, On the Soul and On Memory and Recollection, Nicomachean Ethics, and Poetics; and Plato’s Theaetetus, Republic, and Socrates and The Sophists.

The Iliad

The Iliad (c. 750 BCE) is one of the oldest works of literature in existence and continues to stir the imagination of contemporary readers thanks to its epic depictions of martial prowess, heroism, and tragedy.

Aiming to bring the legendary story to a new audience, Samuel Butler eschewed the traditional poetical style in favor of a prose translation more akin to that used in the 18th and 19th centuries without losing any of the beauty of the original. The narrative details the fall of Troy and the many tragedies that befall both sides of the war. Heroes clash in sweeping and brutal battle as the Gods watch on in delight, Kings rise and fall by their honor-bound mandates while their men toil in the mundanity of war, and lovers die desperately trying to turn the tides of fate. The Iliad is a meditation on fate, honor, and heroism, painting a world in which the chaos of humanity’s clashing vanities means something greater to not only ourselves, but the Gods above.

The Odyssey

"Joe Sachs's translation brings the reader quickly and deeply into The Odyssey."—Nickolas Pappas

This new translation powerfully presents The Odyssey with a modern clarity that suits the vigorous narrative of Odysseus's perilous ten-year voyage home to Ithaca. Joe Sachs, whose translations are known for being faithful to the original Greek, brings new layers of depth, understanding, and interest to the epic.

"I have never met a translation of The Odyssey I didn't like." Thus Joe Sachs invites us to partake in his new rendering of Homer's epic.

"The poem appears in as many guises as Odysseus himself…There is so much power and grace in Homer's poetry that a reader responsive to a few partial strands of it can find in them a wholly satisfying experience and every translator whose work I have read has detected and magnified something in the original that I had not found by other meansAny newly encountered translation of a poem is an opportunity to participate in a fresh reading through a new pair of eyes, and while those readings cannot all be taken in at one view, each one adds something to the sight that occupies the foreground at any moment. It is not because a new translation is needed that I now offer this one, but because every new translation is a contribution that enhances the self-revelation of a poem of boundless variety…The friction of one translation against another can be the quickest way for a path to light up for a reader's own entry into the work. And this invitation to use the available translations not as rivals but in partnership gives license to any single translator to sacrifice part of the meaning and weight of any word or phrase to capture more effectively whatever seems to matter most in itThere comes a point when your best recourse is to rely on no one's judgment but your own, to confront the intelligence, imagination, and heart we know as Homer on your own, and to join the fun."—from the Introduction by Joe Sachs

"The transparent, natural language of Joe Sachs's translation brings the reader quickly and deeply into The Odyssey. Behind that language, both intimate and clear, we sense his sure feel for The Odyssey's people and places. And as much as the scenes of the poem vary, and the language with them, we detect the idea of The Odyssey that Sachs articulates in his valuable afterword: that Homer can begin his story in the middle of things because we are always in the midst of The Odyssey's action no matter where we start readingbecause the poem's subject is the discovery of what is essentially human, a discovery that humans are always, wonderingly, in the middle of."—Nickolas Pappas, Professor of Philosophy at City College and the Graduate Center, CUNY

"Joe Sachs’s translation of Aristotle's Poetics is to me the most vibrant version of a well-thumbed text that is still the screenwriter's bible. So I am not surprised that he brings the same freshness to the world’s greatest long-voyage-home-to-a-lost-love story. This Odyssey is exciting reading for the general reader and essential reading for teachers and students who can now 'hear' how Homer’s epic might have been heard by listeners in times past. Let's hope Joe Sachs is now working on the Iliad."—Eoghan Harris, Irish National Film School (Dun Laoghaire Institute)

Joe Sachs taught for thirty years in the Great Books program at St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland. He has translated numerous works by Aristotle and Plato.

The Odyssey

"Earth breeds no creature frailer than a man, of all that breathe and move upon the earth."

The Odyssey is one of the oldest works of literature still widely read by modern audiences. It, and the Illiad are the two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer.

The Odyssey follows the complex Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, who after fighting for ten years in the bloody Trojan War is faced with another 10 year struggle in his effort to return home. The Odyssey details his path through a world of wonders and dangerous adventures as he desperately struggles to reclaim his kingdom and his family.

Displaying ingenuity over brute strength and keeping one’s head rather than acting rashly were not as obvious to people in ancient times like they are today. These skills served our wily hero well and he triumphed over incredible obstacles including a descent into Hell, Cyclopses, cannibals, an assortment of other mystical creatures and the wrath of the sea god Poseidon. Meanwhile, his wife and son kept away those who were assuming Odysseus was dead or not returning and were vying for her hand and Ithaca’s throne.

In the end, Oldysseus returns home, kills his wife’s suitors, wins a contest to prove his identity and retakes the throne of Ithaca.
