Sustaining Homeric Traditions in Russia: New Translations of Homer’s Poems
Abstract
The article highlights the past decade of Homer-related criticism and Homer translations by M. Amelin, A. Salnikov, and Gr. Starikovsky. Homer’s popularity never stopped. This is proved by new translations of the Iliad and Odyssey. Remarkably, Homer appears to be in tune with modern society. He makes the eternal issues of upbringing and human feuding relevant again.
