The Iliad - Book II - Homer (Alexander Pope translation)

[@goldfinger-9992]

This reading is wonderful, truly a tale well spun, your catalogue of ships - shining as the sun! Nine years have passed, the same the Grecian’s waited - “Resume us the Tale of Troy” they shout!, so listeners may be placated.

I actually recorded this second part in September 2011, but I shelved the editing of it until now because I've busy doing other work. Hopefully I'll be able to continue with more of this project soon. 2 books down, 22 to go!

I've been waiting for this for a while now. Good work!

Your last comment was about 3 years ago so I hope you still read these comments. This is amazing! Hoping you will be coming out with more of the Iliad. Thank you!

[@Gisburne2000]

Never say never :D

Welcome back Nick!

Thank you, so useful! This information on the prononciation of names helps one to sing this!! Thank you!

There's a skip in the action, from Line 700 to Line 1028 at recording time 48:14 -- following Line 700 "Proud of his host, unrivall'd in his reign, In silent pomp he moves along the main." The next lines are: "His brother follows, and to vengeance warms The hardy Spartans, exercised in arms:" which are returned to after Line 1052, "Phorcys and brave Ascanius here unite The Ascanian Phrygains, eager for the fight." Why this revision? -- Anyway, great work -- especially on all those names -- and wonderful benefit to our ears.

The infamous endless catalogue of ships...

[@ragandbonemanofmontecarlo2467]

Yes I second that. Hoping to hear book III at some point as it's a fab narration.

@Gisburne2000 how dare you have other commitments. Lol. Fair nuff. We be stoked if u got round to the next one but. Love the prose

[@solomonsimpson5217]

Please for the love of God do the rest of the book please

[@watermelonman3000]

Why did you stop at this point? You have a wonderful reading voice that offsets Pope heroic couplets very nicely. You should continue.

[@Gisburne2000]

Life intervened, sorry.

[@watermelonman3000]

Well, I appreciate that. And it's a big undertaking, no doubt. But I do feel you do it well. @@Gisburne2000

[@Gisburne2000]

@logicaust There's a natural divide at 40:34 if that helps!

[@inkerlot]

excellent, thank you ..... next one please :)

[@lo9i]

I'm going to have to segment this one (just like a real book hehe). Peace.

[@KillerBebe]

Any plans on book three?

[@kareotis]

Book or rhapsody?
