"Gripping. . . .
Lombardo's achievement is all the more striking when you consider the difficulties of his task. . . .
[He] manages to be respectful of Homer's dire spirit while providing on nearly every page some wonderfully fresh refashioning of his Greek.

The result is a vivid and disarmingly hardbitten reworking of a great classic." —Daniel Mendelsohn, The New York Times Book Review
