Vergilius Maro Hackett Publishing Company, 2005 The new standard for the Aeneid I bow to no one in my love of Robert Fitzgerlad's translation of the Aeneid--the standard for the last 25 years. Stanley Lombardo's relavatory translations, however, nudges the older one aside. Lombardo has a history of actually performing the great poems of ...             Works and Days and Theogony Hesiod, Robert Lamberton Hackett Publishing Company, 1993 Hesiod for pleasure? You bet! At first I found the voice Lombardo uses for "Works and Days" a little off-putting. I mean, you don't expect an ancient Greek poet to come off like one of Huck Finn's more literate relatives. But as I continued reading, and, indeed, I had a hard time stopping, I was ...             Odyssey Homer Hackett Publishing Company, 2000 Eminently readable and true to the original text Lombardo's translation of the Odyssey, as well as his Iliad and Aeneid, receive much-deserved kudos as the most readable translations available. He writes with poetic and colloquial English that makes it easy for the lay person to understand. Unfortunately, many ...             The Essential Aeneid Publio Maron Virgilio Hackett Publishing Company, 2006 A good tranlation of a classic As a Latin teacher, the Aeneid is one of my favorite books of all time. This is an excellent edition for someone who wants to get the of Aeneas as well as a good taste of Vergil's style without the long drawn out sectoins. It is a fast, exciting read. I also ...             The Essential Iliad Homer, Sheila Murnaghan Hackett Pub Co Inc, 2000 Excellent translation I really enjoy this translation. I think it's perfect for the classroom and is very easy to read. It's clear, and the language isn't so heightened that people are intimidated by it. This is a must for any college student.             The Essential Homer: Selections from the Iliad and the Odyssey Homer Hackett Publishing Company, 2000 The Best of the Best of the Best Lombardo's translations of Homer are brilliant, energetic, and fun to read. While other translations are as dry and dusty as ancient Greek itself, Lombardo remarkably manages to bring it all to life, and reading both the Iliad and the Odyssey are as interesting and ...             Iliad Homer, Stanley Lombardo Hackett Publishing Company, 1997 An epic translation "Sprung out of bitterness, the philosophy of the Iliad excludes resentment." Thus Rachel Bespaloff, stating the seemingly impossible. Years ago I read the Iliad in Fitzgerald's fine translation, but every page had the heavy cadence of a "classic." Now I'm reading ...             Poems and Fragments Sappho Hackett Publishing Company, 2002 Shimmering, iridiscent, deathless Aphrodite. In Antiquity decent women were supposed to work in the kitchen and to raise their children, nothing more, but there were exceptions. More or less 150 years after Homer's Iliad, Sappho lived on the island of Lesbos, west off the coast of what is Turkey today.. (She went ...             Tao Te Ching Lao-Tzu, Burton Watson Hackett Publishers, 1993 pristine translation I was very impressed with this version of the Tao Te Ching...it avoided modern-day vernacular and felt much closer to the original text. Furthermore, the translator's addition of lines of the text in Chinese (as well as the glossary of Chinese characters in the back) ...             Zen Sourcebook: Traditional Documents from China, Korea, and Japan Hackett Pub Co, 2008 A Great (Re)Source There are, of course, many collections that document the early days of Ch'an/Zen Buddhism. This is the first I've seen that includes talks and writings of Korean masters, as well as those from China and Japan. The editors have created new translations of many of ...             Callimachus: Hymns, Epigrams, Select Fragments Callimachus The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1987 "... a sudden sweetness, the swan sings in air ...

Press. 1988. 126 pp. This volume contains a very good Introduction, 6 Hymns (to ...             Protagoras Plato, Stanley Lombardo, ... Hackett Pub Co Inc, 1992 Good Translation, Great Commentary It would be good first to clear up a confusion which is actually encouraged by Amazon. There are two distinct editions of Taylor's translation of & commentary on the Protagoras: One is the "World's Classics" edition, first published in 1996 and reissued in 2002; the ...             The Essential Odyssey Homer Hackett Publishing Company, 2007 This abridgement of the "Odyssey" offers nearly half of the text of Stanley Lombardo's 2000 translation of the complete epic and provides narrative bridges for omitted passages.             INFERNO Dante Alighieri Hackett Publishing Company, 2009 This title includes Introduction and Notes by Anthony Oldcorn.
