Product Description
The classics are rapidly receding from public consciousness, and modern revisions of them, such as the film O Brother, Where Art Thou, are in genuine danger of never being linked to their original inspiration. Noted classicist Stanley Lombardo breathes new life into some of the most famous and beloved ancient works with this engaging and vibrant audio performance of carefully selected excerpts of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. This state-of-the-art compact disc recording provides high-quality access to some of the greatest works in world literature.

The Essential Homer is based on the unabridged editions of the Iliad and the Odyssey published earlier this year and contains the key chapters and passages of both epics. The translation and narration are by Stanley Lombardo, Professor of Classics at the University of Kansas. He is an award-winning translator and an acclaimed performer.

Susan Sarandon, Academy Award® winning actress, guides the listener through the Essential Homer by reading the engaging introduction, the background stories and synopses.

"Not only does one get an excellent translation of both Homer's Iliad and Odyssey . . . but the selections included are infinitely better and longer than what one normally gets in anthologies of Greek literature."--Kostas Myrsiades, Westchester University ... Read more

This Ain't Grandma's Classics Primer
Dr. Lombardo truly translates this and his work transports the epic poem into the modern era, complete with colloquial outbursts and vulgar insults shouted amongst the gods. These works are exciting! I can imagine the impact they once had is in many ways re-awakened by Lombardo's update to the otherwise antiquated language found in more classical translations such as Lattimore's. Clearly, the classical translations and even those of the 19th C are playing a somewhat different game and each have their respective merits, but I feel Lombardo's packs a punch and delivers the message to today's audience. Lombardo acts as a contemporary device to the original work making the piece current and attainable. Read the others when you want to study etymological roots, metaphor, iambic pentameter, etc.

I was fortunate enough, a few years ago, to see a live performance when Lombardo paid a visit to the classics department at Arizona State. He held a question and answer session that followed his presentation. Somehow, and I don't remember the question, he got to explaining that some transients had stumbled into an auditorium during one of his previous performances not knowing anything about the topic. They sat down on the floor in the front near the stage. When he asked the audience what their thoughts were one of the transients stood up to say, "Well, I don't know about anybody else, but I think this Agamemnon guy is a real A-hole. What happens next?"

And indeed, what happens next? You should stop watching reality TV right now. Jason Meznick and Molly What's-Her-Buckets got nothing on the scandalous womanizing moves of Zeus who rapes and then marries his sister, and then cheats on her mercilessly. Turn off the Bachelorette (also because it's really awful this season). Homer is far better. Here we have rage, jealousy, murder, lust, incest, seduction, lies, manipulation, narcissism, war, epic travels, pride unto death, and it's soon apparent that as much as things change it's all the same story in a different year.

Additionally a note on format, Susan Sarandon is great here as she does the book summaries that precede each reading by Lombardo. Also, the addition of the drums and music are fantastic as they break up the different books and add to the overall dramatic nature of this work.Better in the Iliad, however, than the Odyssey.The Odyssey music was video-gamish, or maybe that was just me.My only complaint is personal - I should have gotten the two unabridged versions of these. I wanted ALL the lines.

This audio is great company, and better than much of what is being passed off as literature these days.It's also a nice listen while stuck in rush hour traffic.The drums and the battles and the angry outbursts amongst the gods made me a more aggressive driver.

On November 22, 1998, over 7,000 students, church people, former military and activists met outside the gates of Ft. Benning, Georgia, where the U.S. Army School of the Americas is located, in the largest protest since the Vietnam War days. Led by actor Martin Sheen and Sister Jackie Doepker, 2,318 of them risked arrest and imprisonment by Crossing the Line onto the military base. Carrying coffins and crosses bearing the names of thousands of men, women and children assassinated by SOA graduates in Latin America, they demanded that the U.S. government end its policy of training foreign soldiers and close the SOA's doors forever. This 16 minute video docuemtns this nonviolent protest with interviews of the participants and dramatic scenes of the march. ... Read more
