I have no desire to restart that recent testy thread.
Today, Leonard Lopate of NPR, reviewed with the author, a book titled "An Iliad - A Modern Retelling of Homer's Iliad" (I hope that I have this right.) by Allesandro Barico (spelling).
Leonard is up to snuff on Homer.
It is a prose retelling of the poem, translated from the Italian. It was performed on stage, in Italy, for 3-4 hours a night for 3 nights. (Something like the original) When a woman's story is involved, a woman told it.
Check the links@Lopate. It should be available after 5:00PM, EDST.
N.B.
Leonard was given The James Beard Foundation Award for Best Radio Broadcast on Food.
