Iliad Book 5

Rodney Merrill reads the Iliad in his translation. In the Afterword he introduces the poem and explains his use of a strict dactylic-hexameter meter like that of the ancient oral epic. The book itself, published by the University of Michigan Press, may be previewed on the press's website at https://press.umich.edu/Books/T/The-Iliad.
