The average rating for The rage of Achilles from the Iliad based on 2 reviews is 3.5 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-19 00:00:00 Keith R Brown Excerpts from Homer's The Iliad, revolving around Achilles, published as a Penguin 60s Classic. Despite expecting to enjoy this, I was found it hard to keep reading. I can't be sure but the translation may have been to blame, it was wordy and awkward, had little flow and was really easy to put down, really hard to pick back up again. Just a 2 star effort on this one.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-08-06 00:00:00 Nicholas Phariss I'll have to read the rest of the book in this translation. Very good, a ripping story too. Really pokes the modern sensibilities in the the right eye...
