In lijn met het thema "Het monster, aan de grenzen van het menselijke" van het nieuwe programma voor de zesde klas, presenteert deze editie van de epiek van Homerus de reis van Odysseus. Na de oorlog van Troje dwaalt Odysseus tien jaar rond langs de kusten van de Middellandse Zee en moet hij vele beproevingen doorstaan voordat hij zijn koninkrijk Ithaka kan terugkeren. Deze verzameling bevat 16 van de meest beroemde episodes van deze fantastische reis. Daarnaast zijn er fragmenten van het scenario en foto's van de film Odysseus van Mario Camerini (1954), wat de mogelijkheid biedt om te bestuderen hoe de epiek op het scherm is overgebracht. De pedagogische aanvullingen omvatten voorstellen voor workshops in de klas, activiteiten "Speciaal cinema", een leesgids met belangrijke punten en een parcours in 8 stappen, een themagroep over "De monsters: onvoorstelbare wezens" en een documentair onderzoek naar de zeilomstandigheden in de oudheid.

Metrische vertaling van het Oud-Griekse epos over de wrok van Achilles, de grootste Griekse held, tegen Agamemnon, die zijn geliefde slavin heeft afgenomen.

Het eerste grote avonturenverhaal in de westerse canon, dit gedicht verkent thema's van geweld, de nasleep van oorlog, rijkdom, macht, huwelijk, familie en de verlangen naar huis. Dit frisse, gezaghebbende vertaling revitaliseert het verhaal van schipbreuken, monsters en magie. Geschreven in jambische pentameter en een hedendaagse stijl, weerspiegelt het het aantal regels in het Griekse origineel, en vangt het de levendige snelheid en muzikale kwaliteit van Homerus. De vertaling benadrukt de schoonheid en betovering van het oude gedicht terwijl het de spanning en drama behoudt. Onvergetelijke personages zijn onder andere de sluwe godin Athena, die de held begeleidt; Telemachus, de onhandige tienerzoon die naar volwassenheid streeft en de terugkeer van zijn vader verlangt; en Penelope, de slimme vrouw die haar vrijers afweert tijdens de afwezigheid van haar man. De held zelf komt naar voren als een complexer figuur, met vele vermommingen en stemmingen. Een fascinerende inleiding biedt inzichten in de context van het Bronstijd, de belangrijkste thema's van het gedicht, controverses rond de oorsprong ervan en de diepgaande invloed ervan.

Here is a new Loeb Classical Library edition of Homer's stirring heroic account of the Trojan war and its passions. The eloquent and dramatic epic poem captures the terrible anger of Achilles, "the best of the Achaeans," over a grave insult to his personal honor and relates its tragic result: a chain of consequences that prove devastating for the Greek forces besieging Troy, for noble Trojans, and for Achilles himself. The poet gives us compelling characterizations of his protagonists as well as a remarkable study of the heroic code in antiquity.The works attributed to Homer include the two oldest and greatest European epic poems, the Odyssey and the Iliad. These have been published in the Loeb Classical Library for three quarters of a century, the Greek text facing a faithful and literate prose translation by A. T. Murray. William F. Wyatt now brings the Loeb's Iliad up to date, with a rendering that retains Murray's admirable style but is written for today's readers.The Loeb Classical Library is the only existing series of books which, through original text and English translation, gives access to all that is important in Greek and Latin literature. A complete list of titles is available from Harvard University Press.

George Chapman's translations of Homer are among the most famous in the English language. Keats immortalized the work of the Renaissance dramatist and poet in the sonnet "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer." Swinburne praised the translations for their "romantic and sometimes barbaric grandeur," their "freshness, strength, and inextinguishable fire." The great critic George Saintsbury (1845-1933) wrote: "For more than two centuries they were the resort of all who, unable to read Greek, wished to know what Greek was. Chapman is far nearer Homer than any modern translator in any modern language." This volume presents the original text of Chapman's translation of the Odyssey (1614-15), making only a small number of modifications to punctuation and wording where they might confuse the modern reader. The editor, Allardyce Nicoll, provides an introduction, textual notes, a glossary, and a commentary. Garry Wills's preface to the Odyssey explores how Chapman's less strained meter lets him achieve more delicate poetic effects as compared to the Iliad. Wills also examines Chapman's "fine touch" in translating "the warm and human sense of comedy" in the Odyssey. Oft of one wide expanse had I been told That deep-browed Homer ruled as his demesne; Yet did I never breathe its pure serene Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold. --John Keats

Nach dem Sieg im Trojanischen Krieg durch die List mit dem Holzpferd kehren Odysseus und seine Freunde nach Hause zurück.

Die klassischen Geschichten sind voller Spannung und unerwarteter Wendungen und bieten einen frischen und verständlichen Erzählstil, der die Leser fesselt.

Slepý Melésigenés hľadal prostriedky na živobytie, no získaval obdiv a sympatie od ľudí, ktorí ho podporovali. V Kýme ho presvedčili, aby požiadal mestskú radu o pomoc a stal sa básnikom mesta na útraty obce. Rada však návrh odmietla s tým, že „homérov“ (slepcov) živiť nebude, a tak Melésigenovi ostalo meno Homéros. Odtiaľ odišiel do Fókaie a neskôr na ostrov Chios, kde sa živil ako učiteľ a básnik. Na Chiu prežil šťastné obdobie, zložil množstvo básní a stal sa známym v celej Hellade. Neskôr cestoval po Grécku a zložil eposy Ílias a Odysseia, pričom svoj život zakončil na ostrove Ios. V druhej polovici Odysseie, ktorá je súčasťou tejto publikácie, Faiáci doplavia Odyssea do vlasti. Po príchode na Ithaku sa stretáva s bohyňou Athénou, ktorá mu radí, aby sa najprv ako žobrák oboznámil so situáciou vo svojom kráľovstve a pripravila mu plán pomsty voči spupným ženíchom. Odysseus sa pustí do príprav na boj o svoje postavenie a rodinu. Medzitým sa domov vracia jeho syn Télemachos a manželka Pénelopé odoláva ponukám ženíchov na vydaj. Publikácia obsahuje aj Hérodotov životopis Homéra a druhú časť štúdie Ivana Janeka, ktorá približuje jednotlivé časti eposu.

Podľa životopisu, ktorý je pripisovaný Hérodotovi, sa Homéros narodil v Smyrne. Jeho matka Krétheis ho pomenovala Melésigenés, pretože sa narodil pri rieke Melés. Po vyrastení sa stal učiteľom a neskôr sa vydal na plavby do cudziny. Po chorobe na očnú chorobu sa liečil na Ithake, kde sa oboznámil s príbehmi o Odysseovi. Po vyliečení sa opäť plavil, no po príchode do Kolofónu oslepol. Odvtedy sa venoval iba skladaniu básní, ktoré prednášal na oslavách. Možno práve jeho nešťastie a pobyt na Ithake viedli k vytvoreniu jedného z jeho výnimočných diel, eposu Odysseia. V ňom rozpráva o strastiach Odyssea počas jeho návratu z trójskej vojny. Jeho syn Télemachos a manželka Pénelopé čakajú na jeho návrat, no ich život komplikuje množstvo ženíškov, ktorí sa uchádzajú o Pénelopu. Télemachos sa rozhodne odísť a zistiť niečo o otcovi, pričom ho podporuje Athéna. Odysseus sa snaží vrátiť domov k Pénelope a Télemachovi, no musí prekonať množstvo prekážok, než sa dostane na Ithaku. Kniha obsahuje štúdiu Miloslava Okála, ktorá sa zaoberá problémami homérskych básní a ich ohlasmi, a prvú časť štúdie Ivana Janeka, ktorá skúma otázky Homérových eposov a obdobie po trójskej vojne.

L'Iliade di Omero racconta la guerra di Troia, che infuria da nove anni. Greci e Troiani si affrontano in un conflitto sanguinoso, senza che nessuna delle due parti possa vantare una vittoria definitiva. Nonostante il prolungarsi della guerra, il combattimento continua e il numero dei morti aumenta. Un armistizio è stato proclamato, ma i Greci continuano a morire, colpiti da una misteriosa malattia - una pestilenza per la quale non esiste cura. Questo è un chiaro segno dell'ira di Apollo. Ma cosa ha scatenato la collera del figlio di Giove? L'opera immortale e grandiosa di Omero ha attraversato i millenni, riportando in vita gli eroi dell'antichità e le loro gesta. La narrazione si snoda tra temi di onore, vendetta e destino, offrendo una profonda riflessione sulla condizione umana e le sue sfide.

Die Erzählungen des Odysseus bilden innerhalb der 'Odyssee' eine eigenständige Gattung von abgeschlossenen Geschichten. Es geht um unglaubliche Abenteuer mit fremdartigen Menschen und Zauberwesen, um eine unerfüllbare Liebe, um einäugige Riesen und manches mehr – von Michael Schroeder in Prosa neu übertragen. Durch alle Jahrhunderte blieben sie ungemein populär. Im Nachwort wird dem Ursprung dieser Geschichten nachgespürt und die Irrfahrt des Odysseus als Bild der Lebensreise eines jeden Menschen schlechthin beleuchtet.

HOMERE

Book by HOMERE

Ни одно из многочисленных литературных произведений древности не оказало такого сильного влияния на дальнейшее развитие мировой культуры, как бессмертные поэмы Гомера "Илиада" и "Одиссея". Минули века, однако притягательная сила поэм легендарного эпического поэта Древней Греции неумолима. Привлекательность гомерических поэм не только в том, что их автор вводит нас в мир, отделенный от современности десятками столетий и все же необычайно реальный благодаря гению поэта, сохранившего в своих поэмах биение современной ему жизни. Бессмертие Гомера в том, что в его гениальных творениях заключены неисчерпаемые запасы общечеловеческих непреходящих ценностей - разума, добра и красоты.

Beletrizované prerozprávanie starovekého eposu. Prerozprával Rudolf Sloboda, prebásnil Miloslav Okál.

Diskusie o autorstve Íliady, známej ako homérska otázka, prebiehajú už od staroveku. Názory sa rôznia; niektorí bádatelia veria, že epos napísal jediný autor, Homér, ktorý mohol byť aj účastníkom trójskych bojov. Iní tvrdia, že dielo vzniklo z viacerých básní alebo že Homér vôbec neexistoval. Väčšina odborníkov však pripisuje autorstvo Homérovi a datuje jeho existenciu do 8. storočia pred Kr. Epos pôsobí ako ucelené dielo s jednotným a plynulým dejom, ktorý čitateľovi poskytuje výnimočný umelecký zážitok a umožňuje nahliadnuť do starovekej minulosti. V druhej polovici sa šťastie obráti proti Agamemnonovi, vodcovi Achájcov, a dominovať začne Hektor, vodca Trójanov. Hektor podniká útok na grécky tábor a zdá sa, že jeho víťazstvo je len otázkou času. Keď Achilleus uvidí horiace lode, rozhodne sa zasiahnuť, ale na čele vojska stojí jeho verný priateľ Patroklos. Bohovia však nedovolia Achilleovi len tak sedieť a čoskoro si oblieka novú zbroj, aby sa opäť zapojil do bojov. Kniha obsahuje aj druhú časť štúdie Ivana Janeka, ktorá sa zaoberá historickým rámcom mykénskej epochy a analyzuje jednotlivé časti eposu.

Que el autor de la Odisea se llamara realmente Homero es algo que parece carecer, cada vez mas, de importancia. Lo verdaderamente importantes es que bajo este nombre, supuesto o no, se encuentra un genial poeta que supo dar uniformidad de lengua y estilo a una serie de elementos heredados del folclore mediterraneo, anatolio, de la saga griega y del mundo magico, consiguiendo construir esta monumental epopeya dramatica. Esta edicion plantea, por un lado, la polemica en torno a la autoria, fecha y uniformidad del poema, a la vez que presenta una traduccion en prosa suelta con tono de novela a cuento.

L'Iliade et l'Odyssée sont les deux plus anciens monuments de la littérature occidentale, attribués à Homère, né au VIIIe siècle avant notre ère. Ces poèmes épiques et guerriers racontent la colère d'Achille, la guerre de Troie, puis les aventures d'Ulysse qui affronte monstres, tempêtes, femmes magiciennes...avant de retrouver Ithaque et Pénélope.

Helena: eine der faszinierendsten wie umstrittensten Gestalten der antiken Mythologie. Schön, treulos, unheilbringend, „bewundert viel und viel gescholten“ (Goethe). Helena steht für die Liebe, für den Tod, sie ist Opfer und Täterin zugleich. Seit Homer wurde das Thema in Literatur, bildender Kunst, Musik und Film immer wieder aufgegriffen. Und die hier versammelten Zeugnisse von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart zeigen deutlich: der Mythos Helena wird auch in Zukunft weiter fortgeschrieben.

Στη νέα μετάφραση των Ομηρικών Υμνών, η Σάρα Ρούντεν χρησιμοποιεί μια μελωδική και ευέλικτη μη ριμαριστή γραμμή έντεκα συλλαβών, προσφέροντας μια κοντινή προσέγγιση του ελληνικού εξάμετρου σε φυσικούς ρυθμούς. Το αποτέλεσμα είναι οι Ομηρικοί Ύμνοι, που χαρακτηρίζονται από την ακρίβεια, την απλότητα και την οικονομία κινήσεων. Η εισαγωγή της Σίλα Μέρναχαν τοποθετεί τους Υμνους μέσα στις μυθολογικές και παραστατικές παραδόσεις που τους γέννησαν. Εστιάζοντας στους μεγαλύτερους Υμνους, φωτίζει με διορατικότητα αυτές τις παράξενα γοητευτικές και μερικές φορές σοβαρές αφηγήσεις «καθοριστικών επεισοδίων στην εξέλιξη του κόσμου». Περιλαμβάνονται σημειώσεις και γλωσσάριο ονομάτων.

Zeus erlegte Sisyphos als Strafe auf, einen riesigen Stein den Berg hinaufzuwälzen, der ihm jedes Mal, wenn er den Gipfel fast erreicht hat, entgleitet und zurückrollt. Bis in dieses Jahrhundert hinein erscheint Sisyphos als ewig leidender Büßer. Erst Camus stellt den Mythos auf den Kopf: Das Leben braucht keinen Sinn, aber es muss in seiner Absurdität erkannt und akzeptiert werden. 100 Texte von Homer bis Günter Kunert zeichnen die Deutung des Mythos nach.

L'Odissea racconta l'avventuroso viaggio che Ulisse ha compiuto per mare e che è durato molti anni, ma che alla fine, dopo aver superato moltissime avversità, si è concluso felicemente e Ulisse ha potuto ritornare a Itaca e riabbracciare la sua famiglia.

Las historias de este libro están forjadas en una época en la que la guerra constituía una forma de vida y los héroes representaban el ideal al que todos aspiraban. Estos relatos hablan de compañerismo, de sacrificio o de la soledad de los personajes ante su destino. Aunque el mundo de hoy sea muy diferente, los problemas de los protagonistas de Homero y de Virgilio son también los de los lectores actuales. Y, aunque los dioses de griegos y romanos no estén aquí para ayudar o castigar a los seres humanos, sabemos que la vida es un viaje tan rico en aventuras como el del héroe Ulises, una travesía en la que lo importante no es adónde se llega, sino lo que se vive durante el camino.

C'est une guerre sans merci qui oppose depuis dix ans Achéens et Troyens. Les héros de Grèce et de Troie, Achille, Priam, Hector, sont face à face et les dieux se sont eux aussi jetés dans la mêlée. Par l'auteur de Ulysse et l'Odyssée , le premier volet de la fresque homérique.

Dans la petite île d'Ithaque, Pénélope et son fils Télémaque attendent Ulysse, leur époux et père. Voilà vingt ans qu'il est parti pour Troie et qu'ils sont sans nouvelles de lui. De l'autre côté des mers, Ulysse a pris le chemin du retour depuis longtemps déjà. Mais les tempêtes, les monstres, les géants, les dieux parfois, l'arrêtent ou le détournent de sa route. Premier grand voyageur, Ulysse découvre l'Inconnu où naissent les rêves et les peurs des hommes depuis la nuit des temps ; l'Odyssée nous dit cette aventure au terme de laquelle le héros retrouve enfin, aux côtés de Pénélope, "la joie du lit ancien".

Baricco smonta e rimonta l'Iliade creando ventun monologhi, corrispondenti ad altrettanti personaggi del poema e al personaggio di un aedo che racconta, in chiusura, l'assedio e la caduta di Troia. L'autore "rinuncia" agli dei e punta sulle figure che si muovono sulla terra, sui campi di battaglia, nei palazzi achei, dietro le mura della città assediata. Tema nodale di questa sequenza di monologhi è la guerra, la guerra come desiderio, destino, fascinazione, condanna.

Dix années de guerre ont permis à Ulysse, roi d'Ithaque, de prouver sa vaillance et sa ruse. Le guerrier n'aspire plus qu'à retrouver enfin Pénélope sa femme, et Télémaque, son fils. Mais les dieux et le destin en ont décidé autrement. Pourchassé par la colère Poséidon, soutenu par Athéna, le héros va errer encore dix ans sur les mers au gré d'épreuves répétées... Une approche de l'œuvre d'Homère renouvelée par Martine Laffon, qui en restitue toute la dimension philosophique.
