I have been offered several times to translate Homer. This is a task for which I have neither the time nor the courage. But the suggestion made me look more closely at a poet whom I had long studied, and for a year or two the works of Homer were seldom out of my hands. The study of classical literature is often in decline; But whatever may be the fate of this study as a whole, it is certain that learning will tend to spread and the reading public will pay more and more attention to the poems of Homer, and not as part of a classical course. But as the most important poetic monument of existence. Even within the last ten years two new translations of the Iliad have appeared in England: the one by a man of great ability and true learning, Professor Newman; the other by Mr. Wright, a conscientious and careful translator of Dante. It can be safely stated that neither of these two works ranks as a standard translation of Homer. The task of translating it will still be done by other translators. The rocks on which their predecessors were divided, and the translator of Homer, who points out the proper objects to which he must direct his attention, may do them some service, save some loss of labor.

It is debatable what goal a translator should set himself when working with his original text. Even these preliminary questions have not yet been resolved. On the one hand, it is said that the translation “must be such that the reader, if possible, forgets that it is a translation and remains under the illusion that he is reading an original work – an original”. translated into English), “by an English hand.” True originality In this case it is said that “when taken as the basis of the return of a poem which concerns our countrymen, it may be considered that the original influenced its natural hearers.” On the other hand, Mr. Newman, who speaks only to condemn the above doctrine, declares that he “intends the opposite: to, as far as possible, every feature of the original, as foreign as possible, with the greatest to preserve. care. Perhaps’; Thus “one can never forget that he imitates and imitates another substance. 3 The “first duty of the translator,” says Mr. Newman, is “to be faithful.” Both parties will often agree that “the first duty of the translator is to be faithful”; But the question between them is what is faithful.

My only aim is to give practical advice to the translator; I am not the least bit interested in conversion theories. But I advise the translator not to “attempt to build on the foundation of the Iliad a poem which will affect our countrymen, as the original may have affected its natural hearers”; For this simple reason, we cannot say how the Iliad influenced its natural audience. This probably means that he is trying to influence the English as strongly as Homer strongly influenced the Greeks. But this direction is not enough and cannot provide real guidance. For all great poets affect their hearers much, but the effect of one poet is one thing, that of another: it is the business of our translator to reproduce the effect of Homer, and the strongest impressions of the unprepared English reader can never. Insure him if he reproduced this or produced anything else. So he can again follow Mr. Newman’s advice, he can try to be “faithful,” he can “preserve every peculiarity of his original”; But who is to assure him, and who is to assure Mr. Newman himself, that if he has done this, he has “adhered closely to the Homeric method and habit of thought,” which Mr. Newman bids him? It is clear that the translator needs more practical advice than this. He cannot say how Homer influenced the Greeks; But there are people who can tell how Homer affects them. These are scientists; Those who know the Greek language and have enough poetic taste and sense. No translation seems worthy of them compared to the original. But only they can know if the translation has the same effect as the original. They are the only competent court in this matter: the Greeks are dead; The ignorant Englishman has no data to judge; and no man can safely trust his own judgment to his own work. So, don’t take the translator’s word for what the ancient Greeks must have thought. He disappears into the darkness. Do not let him believe what the average English reader thinks of him. He will take the blind as his guide. He does not trust his own judgment about his own work. Individual whims can offend him. Let him ask how his work affects those who know Greek and can appreciate poetry. It gives them the same feeling when they read it to the Provost of Eton, or to Professor Thomson at Cambridge, 5 or to Professor Jowett here at Oxford, as when they read the original. When Bentley said of Pope’s translation, “It is a beautiful poem, but it ought not to be called Homer,” I think the work was appreciated, for all its power and charm.

Ὡς ἂν ὁ φρόνιμος ὁρισειεν, “if the critics decide”, which is a test that declares that everyone is ready to present his works. Unfortunately, in most cases no two people agree on who is “sane”. In this case, the ambiguity is removed: I think of the tribunal, where the translator comes to me and has to judge. And has passed a practical test to assess the real success of his work. How can he continue to make his work successful after trying this test?

First, there is some negative advice I would give him. Homer has taken possession of people’s minds in such a way that such a literature has arisen about him that everyone who approaches him must firmly decide to limit himself to what can directly serve the object he approaches. I advise the translator that this has nothing to do with the question of whether Homer ever existed. Whether the poet of the Iliad is one or more; Is the Iliad one poem or Achilles and 6 Iliads that sit together; Is redemption Christianity overshadowed in Homeric mythology; Does the goddess Latona somehow represent the Virgin Mary, etc. These are matters which are discussed with learning, with skill, nay, with genius; But they have two inconveniences – one for all who come to them, and one of their own for the translator. The general difficulty is that there is no real data to determine them. The particular difficulty is that the translator’s decision about them, even if it is possible, may not benefit his translation.

Again, I advised him not to bother building up a special vocabulary to use in translations; Adherence to any theory of the peculiar qualities of Homer’s style, with the limitation to a certain class of English words. Mr. Newman says, “The whole dialect of Homer is essentially ancient, and that of the translator must be as much Saxo-Norman as possible, and owe as little as possible to the elements thrown into our language by classical learning are.” Mr. Newman has the misfortune to adhere to his own theory; For I keep finding that Homer translates words of Latin origin rather strangely for his simplicity, — ‘responsive,’ for instance, 7 Mr. Newman’s favorite word, to represent the Homeric ἀμειβόμενος:

I think the feeling of the place is just like out of a book. But apart from the question of Mr. Newman’s fidelity to his own theory, such a theory
