Description
Iliad Book Seventeen
This is a translation of the seventeenth book of Homer’s Iliad and features the immediate aftermath of
the pivotal event of the poem, the killing of Patroklos. The book deals with the attempts
on the parts of both Greeks and Trojans to recover the body, the Greeks to honour it, and the
Trojans to dishonour it.
The poet avoids it becoming a rather dismal catalogue of “vignettes of violence” by skilful use
of diversionary tactics such as Hektor’s attempts to capture the horses of Akhilleus. The immortals
are again intimately involved both explicitly and implicitly, but the book ends with the result yet
in doubt as Menelaos and Marionas attempt to remove the body protected by the two
Ai-ases.
