Stanley Lombardo

    Stanley F. Lombardo crée des traductions d'épopées classiques avec un style vernaculaire distinctif, privilégiant l'anglais conversationnel par rapport aux tons formels. Son œuvre est intentionnellement conçue pour la performance orale, visant à recréer l'expérience des récitations de la Grèce antique. L'approche de Lombardo insuffle une nouvelle vie à des textes fondamentaux, les rendant accessibles et attrayants pour les lecteurs contemporains grâce à des interprétations dynamiques et performatives.

      The Dionysiaca of Nonnus of Panopolis

      Provides the first English verse translation of one of the most extraordinary poems of the Greek literary tradition, the Dionysiaca of Nonnus of Panopolis. The Dionysiaca is by far the longest poem surviving from the classical world, a massive mythological epic stretching to over 20,000 lines, written in the tradition of Homer.

      "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
