## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ There are better translations
*by  on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 4 December 2021*

The cover is better in person than the picture. Its robust and handles nicely. The introduction and preface is detailed and fantastic for a beginner in classucal lit. The maps are pretty. But the translation is not the best one. Although it is a prose copy, other translators did a more poetic job.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Certified hood classic

Nothing else.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful covers!

I picked up this Penguin Classics cloth bound version of the Iliad along with The Odyssey for two reasons;First, I was researching various translations and decided on Rieu's as the one I wanted to read. Secondly, the simple cover design really stood out to me.I decided to start with reading The Odyssey because that was the one I had more of an I treat in, despite this technically being first in a timeline sense so I can't comment on the quality of the translation in this book. But I feel if it's as well done as his translation of The Odyssey has been done, it's going to be just as enjoyable.I really love how the book looks and feels with these cloth bound covers. It also has a ribbon bookmark built in, which is very handy as well as just looking nice. I'll be putting some fraycheck on the end of it before I start reading though, as the bookmark ribbon on my copy of The Odyssey has started to fray at the end.I really love how these two books look together and will definitely be picking up more of these Penguin Classics books in the future. Their designs are fantastic.
