Book 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
